I have these aliases as well, except br => b, and cp => pi. 'br' is probably
better, but not sure as 'cp' which can be confusing.

If by confusing you refer to "cp" to copy files, that's actually what
I like about it: cherry-pick is somewhat like copying commits, thus
"cp" makes much sense to me.

The problem is that between "git rm" and "git mv", if we default "git
cp" to mean "cherry-pick" there could easily be user confusion.

I'm not sure that cherry-pick is used that often it really needs a two
character shortcut.  Maybe just "git pick"?

I'm in favor of having both 'git pick', and 'git pi'.

Personally, "git branch" and "git checkout" are finger macros that I
type very quickly, so creating two character alias probably wouldn't
save me that much time.  But I do appreicate that there are folks for
which such aliases might be useful.

I bet I can type 'g b' and 'g co' faster :)
