There's another command that starts with "st": stripspace (it's a
lowlevel command by the way). It's going to be a lot more if you type
"git m" and expect all commands starting with 'm'.

Maybe so yeah. That's how Mercurial does.

$  hg s
hg: command 's' is ambiguous:
    serve showconfig status strip summary

Mercurial allows unique abbreviations.  Git doesn't.  Thus a git command
is never ambiguous.
