"ls" -> "listfiles" - how would you feel about that change happening

I would feel betrayed, then add another alias to .bashrc, then feel
deeply satisfied by my cunning betrayal of the betrayers, knowing
that only a true genius hacker could come up with a countermeasure
like that.
When I started with VMS (ahem) years ago, my buddies handed me eunice
(a unix like environment) and a big bag of aliases to make my
environment look like unix. I did this for years and was happy.
But one day I lost my command shell init scripts, and was left to fend
for myself with pure VMS commands. I was completely helpless. Moral:
never again will I customize my programming environment to that extent.
Your solution is that sort of over-customization. Sticking git's
libexec in your path is too. I'm still allergic.
