It offers 66 commands to me here, though it's still way too many - some of them are clearly plumbing: count-objects, ls-tree, checkout-index? Someone should submit a patch! ;-) (After eliminating these, this comes down to 56 commands - which is still a lot, but the numbers are getting somewhat sane already.) Petr "Pasky" Baudis
