Ideally 'shipped' commands (e.g. git-rebase) should avoid calling
the git wrapper when executing other commands to prevent the user
from shadowing those commands with aliases and causing the shipped
command behavior to differ unexpectedly.
In order to avoid confusion, we made aliases not to shadow real
commands, so this is not an argument to support this patch.
Doh. I must have missed the emails which decided that... For some
reason I remember only the emails discussing shadowing happening
but that internal stuff should use 'git-am' to prevent the shadowing
from occuring. Thanks for the correction.
