The word 'abort' have too negative meaning in the russian language. For example, for git am we have three option names for continue operation: --continue, -r, --resolved -- Vitaly Lipatov, Etersoft ``` ## Michael J Gruber, 2014-11-21 15:44 Subject: Re: Add an alias for --abort option Message-ID: <546F5DE9.1050700@drmicha.warpmail.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/546F5DE9.1050700%40drmicha.warpmail.net In-Reply-To: ``` Vitaly Lipatov schrieb am 21.11.2014 um 13:41: > Hello, > > is it allowed add alias '--abandone' for --abort option in git commands > (git am, git rebase, etc.)? > The word 'abort' have too negative meaning in the russian language. But that is the english localisation. We do have git in other languages - maybe not Russian yet, but it would be great and welcome to change that!

We should rather fight option bloat.

It is not language specific really. > ('abort' is negative in german, too). And my suggest is add more correct word. Definitely, we never can just change option's name. >> For example, for git am we have three option names for continue >> operation: >> --continue, -r, --resolved > > I think it's a bad precedence. We should rather fight option bloat. By my mind, if we have compatibility names it helps our brain to operate with command line in more intuitive manner. -- Vitaly Lipatov, Etersoft ```
