Hi,

That woul be surprising.  Git was not invented until early April 2005.  
At the moment I still wait (impatiently, because then my current 
contract ends) for April 2008.

Please realize that you make it hard on _everybody else_ than you to 
follow who said what by egoistically deleting things that are important.  
Such as who said what.

The important thing to realise is that time is such a wonderful 
dimension to be exposed to: not only do you live (experience things 
that you did not know before), but also other people live and learn.

IOW even Linus realised that the git-xxx format is not _that_ good.  
Which is why -- as you should have realised if you did not subscribe 5 
minutes ago -- we do not recommend git-xxx at all, but insist on "git 
xxx".

I didn't realize that.

Git doesn't give any warnings, and manpages give the dashed examples 
only.

Although I was subscribed to git-list from day 1, I must admit that 
these days I don't read this list too closely (hence being caught in 
surprise at this point).

I assume things started with the following commit; but really, can we 
please start with some deprecation notice before really moving it around 
in user-visible location.

That deprecation notice was the one you originally replied to.  So your 
request has been granted before you even asked for it.

But I suspect that you did not understand what I said: if you install a 
git script (that is not part of the "official" Git), it will probably be 
in the PATH, and you will not have a problem.

Hth,
