In line with the previous discussion, I'd like to following Robert
Anderson's suggestion and change all the various *-tag commands to be
*-id (the idea being that the term -tag is easily confused with
branch-tagging, which seems to be the more widespread use of the term in
this context):
inv-tag -> id
add-tag -> add-id (and maybe deprecate in favor of `add')
delete-tag -> delete-id ( " `delete')
move-tag -> move-id ( " `move)
tagging-method -> id-tagging-method
tagging-defaults -> id-tagging-defaults
(with these latter two, the idea is that the term `tagging' means
the process of associating ids with files; you still need some
gerund here, and adding the term `id' makes the connection with
the other id commands obvious)
Another possibility for the first four commands is to use the term
`file-id' instead of `id' in these commands to make it clear what the id
is associated with (since id is somewhat generic word):
inv-tag -> file-id
add-tag -> add-file-id (and maybe deprecate in favor of `add')
delete-tag -> delete-file-id ( " `delete')
move-tag -> move-file-id ( " `move)
A bit more verbose, but maybe it doesn't matter if the last three
commands are deprecated anyway.
Opinions?
Thanks,
-Miles
