Hi,

This task is pretty easy in Mercurial because Mercurial porcelains are
implemented as modules that are all executed through the central "hg"
command. This isn't the case with git.
(on the other hand, having a "[defaults]" section that only applies when
commands are called via "git" might be nice. That way you can use the
"git-CMD" when you want to use CMD without the "[defaults]"... perhaps?)
Nope, the dash form is deprecated, and once y'all out there finally do not 
write it any more, we can start thinking about _not_ hardlinking the 
builtins to their dashed form anymore.

Believe it or not, we already have a distinction between what is called 
from scripts vs from humans: plumbing vs porcelain.  So you can set the 
defaults for porcelain as much as you want, but please leave plumbing 
alone.

Ciao,
