I'm stumbling again over a problem introduced with the "tftpput" command and its naming, as it breaks some of the old scripts that I and others still use. As you know, when this command is enabled (which I find quite useful from time to time), "tftp" can't be used any more as an shorthand for "tftpboot".
What do others feel about this naming? Would it be acceptable, if I post a patch to rename this "tftpput" command into something else (e.g. netput, ethput, ...)? Or perhaps its possible to add an alias for the "tftpboot" command as "tftp", allowing the usage of all 3 commands:
Thou shalt not use abbreviated commands in scripts! The same thing happens with 'set' as an abbreviation for 'setenv' when the 'setexpr' command is enabled.
