Hello All,

I prefer to have as small number of executables in /usr/bin and /user/local/bin as possible. I have tried to push original Peter's git script to this direction for my strange personal taste. COGITO has taken different direction than. I have hidden cogito and git under wrapper to make me happy again. I thing that it is against good opensource habits to keep changes secret even if I do not expect interrest in this version. But may it be, that it can make happy somebody with same taste as I have.

The "cgt" is wrapper for all cogito programs. If cogito is
build and installed to any prefix directory (/opt/git-cogito in my case)
and script is copied to bin subdirectory (/opt/git-cogito/bin),
then only single symbolic link from some searchable directory on PATH
is enough to call all cogito commands
  cgt pull
  cgt update
so usage is more convenient for my fingers learned to type cvs up, etc.
I think, that addition of intelligent bash completion could be done easier
if number of the first level commands to cover is smaller.
Best wishes
        Pavel Pisa
