While I do not think qgit uses them, fsck-objects and\ninit-db also got shorter-and-sweeter synonyms.\n\n> Do you plan to remove it in a near future?\n\nNot me personally. The recent shorter-and-sweeter synonyms are\ntoo young to kick out their original names. We probably should\nwait for at least 6 months, preferrably longer, after the first\nmajor release that introduced them.\n\n> Probably you already now why I'm asking this ;-)\n\nNo. But we should certainly draw up deprecation/removal\nschedule.
