Re: git alias question

The log operation does seem to make the most sense as the mechanism to

Not sure if "--log" to difftool or some other options as suggested in
the other thread would be most consistent UI-wise as stated, but
either would work for me.

On a separate note, some environment variable like GIT_PREFIX with the
CWD would make the alias functionality more flexible.

1f5d271 (setup: Provide GIT_PREFIX to built-ins, 2011-05-25) is
present in v1.7.7; 7cf16a1 (handle_alias: provide GIT_PREFIX to
!alias, 2011-04-27) is in 1.7.6
