In fact I think it does, because it keeps the verb-object order and
avoids "verbs as options":

git rm-branch
git rm-tag
git rm-remote
git ls-branch
git ls-tag
git ls-remote (yeah, I know... maybe use ls-pluralform instead for all)
...

Maybe:
git branches aliased to "git ls-branch" etc. as convenience.

For sake of convenience, if we have "ls-pluralform" (aliased to "pluralform")
we could even alias "create-singularform" to "singularform". I mean, I
want use this git thing myself ;)
