Probably. But choosing the wrong-but-consistent flag would have been easier to learn and remember. I don’t think anyone will consider different git commands as old/new, or core/porcelain or whatever it is. I just want semantical “delete” to have the same switch name, for example.
Sure. But you gotta see the benefit of a "-b" flag creating a branch in every Git command consistently (where it makes sense). That would be easy to remember!
