Since I am one of the persons who have "com" instead of "ci"
hardwired[1] and I really have difficulty to get used to ci[2], how
about the chance that a patch that allows to set aliases in
~/.svnconfig (or whatever it's called) accepted? Or is there any
better idea to allow a local flavor of the command set?[3]

TIA,

        Benjamin.

[1] Maybe because I am not coming from any SCM background. I
    effectively started with CVS and initially always confused "ci"
    and "co" and so settled with "com". :-)

[2] Well, of course, that could be due to the fact that I have my
    local copy patched to allow "svn com".

[3] Suggestions to use the shell for it should accomodate the fact
    that not everyone is using bash, not everyone is using UNIX. And
    an svncom script is plain ugly (the space after "svn" is also
    hardwired ;-).
