[PATCH] svn "ad" as alias for "add"

[Mikel Ward <mi...@endbracket.net>]

Hi

cvs has an alias "ad" for the "add" subcommand.  This fits nicely with
the other two-letter aliases such as "ci", "co", "di", and "up", all of
which work in svn.  I've gotten used to typing "cvs ad <filename>" and
miss this in svn.  It's unlikely to be mistyped, an obvious
abbreviation, and doesn't conflict with any existing svn subcommand or
alias.

As far as I can tell, the only necessary change is one line to
subversion/svn/main.c (attached).

Hope you'll consider it for inclusion.

Thanks

Mike

Mikel, thanks for the patch, but we've made a conscious effort *not* to
add all those aliases.  A one-character typing savings wasn't -- and
isn't -- deemed worthwhile, and unnecessarily clouds the alias space for
our relatively young and growing version control system.
