My fault. This was a left-over from my original alias patch. (I did a 
merge, and just used "git-diff next" instead of "git-diff --merge next". 
<Clickety-click/> Nope, that would not have worked either.

Patch is below (wow, that +++ is kind of ugly!).

Same here.

git: choose internal commands over aliases for git-*

This is especially important because some commands (like init-db) don't
require a working GIT_DIR, and alias expansion tries to look at it. It
also matches the behavior of "git cmd".

Alternatively, you can just delete it. IIRC we decided that aliases with 
"git-" commands do not make sense.
