[PATCH 2/3] Human friendly git: accept human readable options.

From: Sloof Lirpa <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:02
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

In kindergarten, we were taught to say "please" when asking
another person to do something for us.  With this, git
understands:

	$ git, please commit
