Well, considering that I think the people who complain about the 1.6.0 behaviour are whining, what does it matter? People always think their own concerns are so incredibly important. I always thought that git-xyzzy was fine. After all, I _did_ it that way to begin with. But people complained, and the whole alias thing meant that it couldn't be the primary interface _anyway_, so I changed my opinion. I don't actually personally feel all that strongly, but I _do_ think that right now the git-xyzzy proponents are whining. All of their arguments are pure and utter CRAP, considering the triviality of PATH="$PATH:$(git --exec-path)" Really. I repeat that mantra over and over, exactly because it makes all the whining so _pointless_. Why do people still whine about this? Really? None of the whiners have answered that simple PATH mantra, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT. So when you ask "why do they complain", look at both sides. Both sides complain about totally stupid things. but the FACT is that git-1.6.0 can work either way. So the people who complain about having lost git-xyzzy are the ones that are being stupid. At least the ones who complained about "git-<tab><tab>" being scary had a _point_. > Then release a 1.6.0.1.

NO, IT IS NOT DEPRECATED. That was a plan. I think that plan got scuttled already. Stop whining! Can't you understand that people can change plans based on feedback? Effing whiners.
