I think the "Uppercase is the more destructive of two approaches" mnemonic was useful. One of magit's main strengths is the way it imposes uniformity over a somewhat non-uniform git command-line world. I think once you are going to actually *interact* with the menu, you can afford to start with C-u, and that kind of interface is consistent with many others in Emacs-land. Therefore, I favor #3. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
