Hi,

[don't cut the Cc' list.  It is rude.  _Especially_ if you cull the one 
you are responding to.  Or do you like people looking the other way when 
they talk to you?]

IMO this is not just a matter of "shorter" or "longer".  People familiar 
with Git use both forms.  So if you want to be able to receive help from 
Git experts, you better understand both forms.

That's why Git newbies have to learn about _both_ syntaxes right away.  
Keeping them dumb serves _noone_.
