That's a poor excuse for bad defaults.

The canonical way to use git is by the git syntax. Many (most?) people don't build scripts and aliases around it. It works just fine when used raw.

However, I'm with Peaker in that losing your working copy is enough of a nuisance to deserve an interactive prompt, just like 'rm' prompts by default. Confident users could always disable the prompt with an environment-variable or .gitconfig flag.



'rm' prompts by default? since when?

Btw, which defaults are, in your opinion, "bad"?
