In the facebook source code, sapling is called sapling.  The unfortunately
named sl command line command is named sl but lives in the eden/scm
directory.  If it had been me, I'd have named the command sapling and
recommended shell aliases if that's what people wanted rather than
interfering with 50+ years of people aliasing "sl" to "ls" (ls was named in
1969, long before facebookers).
