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, Dscho
