I am against this, unless it is configurable. I think the goal of reducing user-visible commands is fine, and moving things to $(libexecdir) is a good way of doing that. However, I personally still think the 'git-foo' forms are valuable (because fingers have already been trained, and because non-bash-programmable completions understand them). And I don't mind putting $(libexecdir)/git-core in my PATH to retain this behavior; it's a one-time configuration tweak, and it helps new users with the overwhelming command set. But I don't see a point to removing the links entirely. The annoyance factor for people who want git-* is much higher, and I don't see that it actually buys us any help for new users (who will no longer care after everything is hidden in $(libexecdir) anyway). -Peff - 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
