People who have different aliases for
the same terms are unaffected on existing boxes, but slightly hindered
on new boxes as the aliases do something else.

Less hindered than in the current situation.

I do not agree, but I've already explained my reasoning.  I think we
must agree to disagree on this.

cvs ci = cvs commit
cvs co = cvs checkout

svn ci = svn commit
svn co = svn checkout

hg ci = hg commit
hg co = hg checkout

And somehow you think this is not natural and sensible?

git ci = git commit
git co = git checkout

I think it's as clear as day.

If it is natural, sensible, and as clear as day, then why do people
alias the commands to something besides what you show?
