You are saying that something that was deprecated loooong time ago should
be kept for backwards compatibility reasons. That cannot hold, and you
know that.

Anyway, you even failed to address my complaint, namely that Russell did
not give us a _chance_. He did not read the mailing list on which the
issue was discussed -- and again, it is not a compatibility issue. But he
wanted to be notified. Like they say, you cannot have your cake and eat
it, too.

As to everybody who still wants to complain that git-xyyx is so much
better than "git xyyx": face it, it's the better solution for almost
everybody except for you. Cope with it.

Oh, and I am sorry if it broke your scripts, but they are easy to fix. I
know, because I had to fix mine, too.

Ciao,
Dscho
