Bug Description
The -d/--download option is somewhat ambiguous. According to the current code at
https:/
that option is supposed to "download the contents of an existing gerrit review into a branch".
I think that typing "git review --existing 1234" is much more explicit about what the command does. I do realize, of course, that a breaking change such as renaming an option isn't likely feasible at this point, so instead I suggest this to be implemented as an alias, along with a change in the documentation to not mention -d as a supported option, but rather have a note in the -e option's documentation saying something like "(older versions used -d for this purpose)".
OpenStack users seem to be used to the -d option
