It would be nice to have some generic place in git config to specify
default options to git commands (at least for interactive shell). It
cannot be done using aliases. Perhaps defaults.<command> config variable?

I would say the alias facility has to be fixed then.

In bash you can alias "ls" to "ls -l" and it just works.

So, why not use bash aliases?

Frankly, what git aliases try to achieve is a little bit different from 
bash aliases. Bash knows exactly when a command is interactive, and has a 
clear advantage there. Git _cannot_ know.
