I'm OK with everything on the list going away. But that's because I don't ever use them. :)

I'd think we also want to remove the following older aliases:

  annotate
  init-db

  repo-config

1 year after 1.5.0 final ships. That should give people a chance to upgrade their other tools (StGit, qgit, etc.).
