Well, different people will want different viewers *anyway* (ie some will
prefer qgit etc), so how about making "git view" be something that
literally acts as a built-in alias that just defaults to running gitk (if
for no other reason than the fact that gitk is the one that ships with
git, and simply has most users).
We already have "git show", now we gonna get "git view", git trainers
may have hard time explaining this one shows you a particular object
while the other one shows you history. How about "git lshistory" (from
clearcase land) or git show --history?
Heh, we have "bisect visualize". How about "git visualize"?

Yes, in retrospect "view" is probably not the best. "lshistory" just
looks awful, and I think it's wrong for an option to "git show" to
change it from a terminal application into a GUI application.
"visualize" is actually pretty good, except that it would be painful to
type. On the other hand, I will probably still just type "gitk". I
actually think these sorts of aliases may be most useful for user-facing
scripts to say "and now show the dataset in the user's graphical history
browser of choice."
