Maybe repo --graph at the moment (until we add some unified support for subcommands) but not sure what other options would go into 'repo'. Anyway, I haven't had time to try any of your scripts yet and I don't know what stg-gitk shows.

StGIT probably got enough advertisement as being a Quilt replacement for GIT. It would be OK to re-organize the commands (and use aliases to still have the current functionality).

As I said in a different e-mail, I'd first like to get StGIT in a feature-freeze state (well, mainly not changing major things) and fix the remaining bugs to get 1.0 out. After that, we can redefine the commands, repository structure or whatever has a bad design.

I'd like this patch (though I haven't used aliases in GIT yet).
