I did so too, until I patch `git branch -v` to be useful. > = Reject non-fast-forward pulls by default = > Not having this introduced yet allows newbie people to use git with > just 4 commands, without bothering around with fetch and merge and so. I don't understand what you are trying to say. There is no change for those people, when the pull fails they would be told to use `git pull --merge` if not sure. > = Use "stage" instead of "index" = > Totally agree with this. > > = Default aliases = > I hate aliases, make scripts more difficult to read and understand. You are assuming that everyone will start to use aliases in scripts, which is not going to happen enough to be a problem. Try to find svn or hg scripts with aliases, let's see how many you find. > Mine > ==== > I have taught (or tried to) a lot of people Git.

I think you are on the right track but the solution is not to shrug shoulders. We should acknowledge there are serious problems with the interface, list them, and try to fix them. One example is `git add $tracked_file` being wrong, it should be `git stage $tracked_file`. The real problem is that the core developers of Git don't acknowledge these user-interface issues, according the them the interface doesn't require any major changes. Which goes contrary to what most of the world believes. -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
