Hey all,

I have been playing with the EasyGit project lately and I have been
really impressed.  I looked back to the last announcement here and the
conversation didn't really go anywhere, sadly.  I thought it might be
nice to adopt or at least consider a number of the design decisions
they made in modifying the defaults and commands available.  Perhaps
as a 1.7 goal or something?  I like it because it addresses a lot of
the issues that I hear from beginning users:

Does this resonate with anyone else?  Does 1.7 seem like a good goal
for amending some of these things?  Completely redefining 'revert'
seems like the only backward incompatible change - everything else is
just wrappers and whatnot, I think.

Completely agreed.

This is indeed refreshing to see some of the git UI warts being 
addressed by people who simply aren't too used to them like I am.

And like you said, most of those changes don't create any 
incompatibilities and therefore could be fed back _piecemeal_ into the 
main git repository today without even requiring a major version bump.
