And

  - it means git aliases have the same form as builtins

  - it means git on Windows has the same interface

(Arguably the latter point ought to be "forces Unix users to use the
same interface as on Windows", but the git-foo forms have been
deprecated on all platforms for a while.  Making Unix and Windows the
same seems a worthwhile goal, though presumably it's irrelevant for
linux kernel people.)
