Re: Start deprecating "git-command" in favor of "git command"

Linus Torvalds [off-list ref] writes:

Using "git xyzzy" also has some fundamental advantages, like the ability 
to specify things like paging ("git -p xyzzy") and making the whole notion 
of aliases act like other git commands (which they already do, but they do 
*not* have a "git-xyzzy" form!)

In the longer run, we may want to allow "git foo" to alias to
"git foo --preferred-options", although we currently do not
allow such an alias.  Scripts, especially the ones we ship,
would not want to be confused by the user aliases when that
happens.

Anyway, while actually removing the "git-xyzzy" things is not practical 
right now, we can certainly start slowly to deprecate it internally inside 
git itself - in the shell scripts we use, and the test vectors.

So I am somewhat negative on this, unless there is a way for
scripts to say "Even though I say 'git foo', I do mean 'git foo'
not whatever the user has aliased".
