I realize that there is probably a law that there has to be a space, but I
actually personally use tab-completion all the time, and in many ways
prefer a name that can be completed without having to play games with
magic bash completion files.
So how about using a dash instead of a space, and making things be
cg-pull
cg-update
etc? You can link them all to the same script if you don't like having
multiple scripts, and just match with
case "$0" in
*-pull)
...
;;
*-update)
...
;;
or something.
Yeah, yeah, it looks different from "cvs update", but dammit, wouldn't it
be cool to just write "cg-<tab><tab>" and see the command choices? Or
"cg-up<tab>" and get cg-update done for you..
Just because rcs/cvs/everybody-and-his-dog thinks it is cool to have a
space there and have different meaning for flags depending on whether they
are before the command or after the command doesn't mean that they are
necessarily right..
Just an idea,
Linus
