So I would actually do the following: terse commands: mv-id rm-id mv rm verbose commands: move (does mv-id) move --file (does mv, i.e. both moves the id and the file) delete (does rm-id) delete --file (does rm, i.e. both removes the id and the file) verbose synonyms: rename (does mv-id) rename --file (does mv, i.e. both moves the id and the file) remove (does rm-id) remove --file (does rm, i.e. both removes the id and the file)Since changing both file and id is the common case, it should be the default. As I see it, we can have "remove-id" or "remove --id", but not both approaches. And we already have "rm-id" and "mv-id", so we should stick with that approach.
Actually, there is no "rm-id" or "mv-id", there is only "move-id" and "remove-id". It was someone else who
pointed out that there should be a mv-id and rm-id.
I don't particularly seen the need for verbose forms, especially since changing that would mean changing the behavior of move.
Nope, move is a synonym for "mv-id" like it is now. Really I'm only proposing these changes: --file gets added to move and remove to do mv and rm remove is a synonym for delete rename is a synonym for move (never have liked that unixism) Pierce
