 * You can help yourself with something like this, I suppose:

   [alias]
	git = "!sh -c 'exec git \"$@\"' -"

   but I personally feel that it is too ugly to live as part of our
   official suggestion, so please do not send a patch to add it as
   a built-in alias ;-).

So I thought I was clever, but this didn't work:

% ln -s /usr/bin/git ~/bin/git-git  
% git git
fatal: cannot handle git as a builtin

Why did you have to do that when I already gave an alias that works?

I was just toying around, and it would have been cute.

Or didn't the alias work?

It does.  This seems to work just as well, and is easier:

	git = !git

Thanks,
