Command Proposals

The goal here is NOT to produce a cmdlet for each git command, but rather to map conceptual tasks to PowerShell commands, with the intention of getting a reasonable interface to git which speaks objects!

The important nouns are: Repository (repo, rp), Branch (b), GItem (gi), Remote (rm), Stash (st), Tag (tg) ...

Note that the second set of Branch commands could use other nouns (like "Commit" or "Repo" or just "Git"), but I'm sticking with Branch just for consistency's sake.
