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 ;)
