Would give you a new git subcommand:

     git new

which shows all of the new stuff, on all branches, but doesn't show
your prior commit history.

Aliases don't seem to be working for me; I'm using git 1.5.0-rc4.  Am
I doing something wrong?

Actually I think you can only alias git commands. For example
"alias.last  =  cat-file  commit HEAD" makes "git last" call
"git cat-file  commit HEAD".

So "alias.new  = gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD" would mean that
"git new" invokes "git gitk ..." not "gitk ...". Do you see
the problem.

But error message is a bit strange...
