Drop all these.  Study "git shortlog --no-merges" from the recent
history and try to blend in.  Don't try to be original where the
originality does not matter.

Also, resist the temptation to go outside POSIX.1 needlessly.

  https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/rm.html#tag_20_104

does not say "rm" takes "--force" and

  https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/ln.html#tag_20_67

does not say "ln" takes "--symbolic" nor "--target-directory".

Be inclusive and help those whose userland tools are not tainted by
GNUisms.

Thanks.
