For now simply add a few common aliases.

I still think we should ship a default /etc/gitconfig, but the project needs to
agree it's a good change, and nobody every agrees changes are good. So this is
the minimal change that achieves the desired result.

I wish you would stop attacking the project every time you send a
patch--it's simply not productive and it's certainly not getting you
any closer to a resolution.

That said, I think the idea of having some default aliases is good,
and these match what several other version control systems have
already.

FWIW, I alias st to "status -sb", but I'm not convinced it's a good
default.  I think the safe thing to do is to just alias it to
status--like you did here--and let folks override it, if they want
something more.
