Yet a wide amount of users do use 'ci' to mean 'commit', so basically they are just wrong. So you are saying they are just ignorant. Personally I don't care if it's 'ci', or 'co', or 'cm', or 'ct'. I just want/need a shortcut, then I can train my fingers to type that. If you have a better alias than 'ci', then by all means, throw away your suggestion. Now, if you are commenting on the aliases, that would mean you are not against the idea of aliaes per se, but more about values of those aliases. So if we agreed on the right values, you would welcome this patch. Is that correct? -- Felipe Contreras
