We have a number of fixed aliases now (including "up" as an alias for "update"). We also still have expansion for unique prefixes, which won't be going anywhere.

Counter request! I think Monotone should expand all commands AND subcommands. Aliases are fine and dandy, especially where you might want to give CVS users an easy ride into the Monotone world, but command expansion is an uber-cool feature that I very much enjoy having around.

Long live command expansion!

I think Monotone should have a number of fixed aliases for commands instead of expanding arbitrarily abbreviated commands to existing commands. I just would feel comfortable to know that the alias is not likely to go away when new commands are introduced.

Case in point: It's no longer possible to run "monotone up" to update since the new command update_inodeprints makes the expansion ambiguous.
