Make "init" the equivalent of "init-db". This should make first GIT impression a little more friendly. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <redacted> --- I'm resending this as I think this is still pertinent and I cannot remember what the initial issue against this was and whether it is still valid. This would be a nice rule of thumb to try to have all porcelainish commands not have any hyphen in their name, like "diff", "commit", "add", "rm", "checkout", etc. ?
