The problem is not caused by the number of commands, but by their

long names without making mistakes (not counting the long options).
"git am" is fine with me, but "git format-patch" is quite boring to
type. It's also interesting to note that short names are currently
in place for less commonly used commands : git-rm, git-mv, git-gc.
Indeed.

Also, I type "git-diff-tree" quite a lot.

My fingers find that

	git SPACE diff DASH tree

is slower and less consistent than

	git DASH diff DASH tree

The same with git-format-patch...  We are going from "all dashes" to "a 
mix of space and dashes" which is increasing inconsistency.
