I would sit down and carefully design the command syntax. git's biggest criticism is that it is hard to use and this is mainly caused by the seemingly very complex commands. Much of this complexity could be hidden from the user. I'd also integrated a patch management system like stgit. I'm using stgit commands for 90% of my tasks and it has a different syntax than git (its trying to fix some of the problems). Most current git users are knowledgeable programmers and could handle a rework of the git command syntax. The sooner the syntax is reworked the better in my opinion. The current syntax grew organically as we learned what git needed. Now's the time to use this knowledge and design an optimal command structure. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
