I like this idea. The 'cp' and 'mv' commands would retain their
efficiency.
I don't like the idea - it assumes that you always touch only files in
your current directory. Baruch's suggestion sounds much more general
to me. Efficiency differences are negligible here.
BTW - regardless of the aliasing mechanism you adopt - how are you
going to handle files which are copied/moved between an SVN directory
and a non-SVN one?
