I don't really disagree with anything in your post, but I do think a
pure-verb world would be tricky in some ways. Or at least verbose. We
have "git branch --delete". But "git delete" seems a little too
open-ended. The concept of that verb is meaningful only in the context
or a particular noun. We could call it "git delete-branch", but that
doesn't really seem to make the world a better place. :)

In fact I think it does, because it keeps the verb-object order and
avoids "verbs as options":

git rm-branch
git rm-tag
git rm-remote
git ls-branch
git ls-tag
git ls-remote (yeah, I know... maybe use ls-pluralform instead for all)
...

Maybe:
git branches aliased to "git ls-branch" etc. as convenience.

For sake of convenience, if we have "ls-pluralform" (aliased to "pluralform")
we could even alias "create-singularform" to "singularform". I mean, I
want use this git thing myself ;)
