weren't you defending the backward compatibility with me, which you seem to value it so much, perhaps even more than I did back then? Why are you wasting our time bringing it up again, instead of joining the discussion
when it _mattered_ back then?

I wasn't around back then. I came in a year ago to write some git scripts (mostly for hooks). I saw that lots of scripts (including gitweb and the sample hooks) used the git- form, and some didn't. I found that I liked the git- form, since it permitted command and man page name completion, so I did that.

Today I literally wake up to find that I now gotta go fix all those scripts, upgrade git-web, and whatever other *scripts* used the now obsolete git- form. Sorry, I skim the git list every week or three.

The doctor says I'll live, and be back to health in a few hours. But there will be a doctor bill. Can I send it to you? 8)
