I actually got so frustrated one day when switching back and forth
between two directories with different VC systems and always typing the
wrong command in the wrong directory that I decided, "you know this is
silly; 99% of what you need to do is the same commands".  So I wrote
"The One Ring" to bind them all together:

I need to do more to it, but I use it daily to alleviate my brain and
fingers from typing the right command.
