Feature request: more abbreviated commands

From: David Faure <faure_at_kde.org>

Being used for cvs for years, I have difficulties changing my habits of typing
"cvs com" and "cvs dif". With svn it's "commit" or "ci", and "diff" or "di".

Can any non-ambiguous shortcut be accepted? e.g. "com" is non-ambiguous for "commit".
There's no point in cluttering "svn help" with all possible abbrevations, of course.

To detail the algorithm:
 * first check if the command is a known one (as listed in "svn help", which includes documented abbreviations)
 * then look for substrings of the known commands, and:
    - if only one matched, use that one.
    - if more than one matched, refuse command as ambiguous
    - if none matched, refuse command as unknown
