Subject: A suggestion: more readable human commands
Hi there,
I would like to suggest you a new improvement.
Why not adding a new layer of abstraction for commands or to make more explicitly the commands?
For instance:
To merge a single file from one branch to another:
git checkout <branch_name> <path_to_file> --patch
would be like more readable human like this:
git merge <path_file> to <dst_branch>
It uses a more natural language.
Best regards.

What workflow you do so that you need to merge single file?

This is ambigous if a branch or tag named <path_file> or to exists, and the usual disambiguation using -- will not work.
