I'm not quite upto speed on git, I was away on vacation when the list
started up and didn't catch it until just recently... 

And it is close to what you were proposing, but instead of dashes (-)
between the command and the object, I'm proposing just a space.
Actually, I'm proposing that we decide on a grammar and it's syntax
and to try and make it orthagonal and consistent.  Principal of least
surprises, etc.

Thanks,
John
