Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Human friendly git: accept human readable options.
Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7vlkhd557f.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> (raw)

In kindergarten, we were taught to say "please" when asking
another person to do something for us.  With this, git
understands:

	$ git, please commit
