Not sure but from the glance at hg that I took, they seem to use the
plural for nouns.
So then we could have
git branch <new-branch-name>
git branches new // long version
git branches list
git branches delete
....
However, standardizing to a fixed verb/noun rule will still be more than
a challenge.
The above would as guildeline be
git verb
or
git plural-noun verb
Yet try to do that with
git status
git log
I don't see how a better alternative for those can be found. One that
actually is accepted because it's better, not just because it follows a
rule.
status, is not a verb
log is the wrong verb, or again a noun.
