This much later, there are a few minor things I still miss from Cogito.
I believe fixing either would be quite trivial, so I thought I'd post
a note.
1. The ability to clone into the current directory
cg-clone had a -c option, which allowed cloning into the current
directory. This is particularly useful, since I keep my common
dot files in a git repository, so all I need to do to set up a new
machine is to clone that git repository over my empty home directory.
Native git doesn't have any equivalent, other than:
git clone -n .... tmp
mv tmp/.git .
rm -rf tmp
git checkout HEAD
2. cg-restore
Cogito separated "reset" and "restore". This is a syntactic sugar
issue, but having to type "git reset --hard -- path" makes me
nervous, especially since hitting Enter at the wrong time could have
serious and irrevocable consequences.
I also note that this particular use of "git reset" is actually
undocumented, but it seems to work.
Those are pretty much the only Cogito command I have found myself either
missing or using since I made a mental note to track this stuff, a few
months ago.
