I think 'git up' is easier to type than 'git pull'. It's the CVS/SVN tradition, though, probably not the BK tradition. > I'm not sure but I suggest that pull and get would be better choices. > > git pull > git get I don't like git get; it is something completely new - not in CVS/SVN and means something completely different in BK, apparently. > is it rare enough to justify: > git --download-only pull Dunno.

What do others think? :-) I start to like the pull/update distinction, and I think I'll go for it. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ C++: an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog. -- Steve Taylor
