Good idea. With the title you'd made the post attractive, and that is a motivation for the people to learn.

Nevertheless I guess that the names of those "missing comands" could be proposed according to the git naming conventions.

For example, there is already a subcommand "git branch". The missing one would be "git branch create" instead of "git create branch".

I agree, but I tried to find the right microcopy balance between "human-friendly" VS "git oriented" commands.

I preferred to give more weight to the "human-friendly" microcopy:
For example, the command $ git undo merge is human-friendly command while the more git orientated command should be (I guess) $git merge --undo.
