Re: [PATCH] One Git To Rule Them All

In my opinion, this is going backwards.

I think we had this discussion long time ago on the list, and
instead of using cvs/svn style of "cmd subcmd" syntax, the
consensus back then was that using "cmd-" prefix without spaces
is easier for making TAB completion to work (you do not have to
muck with command specific rules in the readline configuration),
and this is especially helpful for people who ends up using the
bare Plumbing. IIUC, the same reason is behind cg-* command set.

Having said that, for many people who do not wish to use the
bare Plumbing interactively, installing git-* commands in, say,
$(libexec)/git/ might be a more appropriate option.  But we have
to remember there are people who uses the bare Plumbing
interatively.  I think Jeff Garzik said he does not use Cogito,
and I suspect Linus does not either.
