I know, and commit is ci in many of them.

The reason why I decided to make checkout co, is that we have already an alternative for checkout: switch. So unlike all those other VCS, in git we can have:

  co = commit
  sw = switch

Of course we would need to make switch actually usable, but that's a seprate task.
