Most people do not need to know about rerere, rev-parse or merge-base so it is very unlikely they actually meant those. That might be an issue of tuning than general principles, but I have my doubts. It won't hint that there are wildly different variants of rebase, which ctually might be much more important to know than rerere, not will it tell svn users that git revert isn't even close to svn revert. Completion or git gui is a much better tool for solving this isssue Some ancient LISP had a DWIM (do what I mean) and there might be a reason it has not become ery popular. Despite not being useful, it's still cool :) -- robin -- 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
