Fri 22 Aug 2003 07:13:14 AM UTC, original submission:

For some commands that have aliases, this patch swaps which is listed as the `primary' command, and which is called an alias. It should have no user-visible effect, except for the output of `tla help'.

For instance, it changes:

cmtrev : archive a changeset-based revision
commit : (alias for cmtrev)

to:

commit : archive a changeset-based revision
cmtrev : (alias for commit)

I based this change on what I observed to be the most-used command-name forms in the tutorials and mailing list discussion; in general, people seem to overwhelmingly prefer the non-`rev' forms, and the non-`-tag' forms.

If this patch is applied, a later patch could change the underlying function/file names to match, with an eye toward deprecating the older forms.
