We might want to add a pair of built-in internal aliases though:

	[alias]
        	cat = cat-file -p
                less = -p cat-file -p

or have these as samples in template .git/config file.

I sent a patch which makes "git show" have that functionality, and 
frankly, I disagree "less" would be a good name for it. It uses the 
_pager_, which is not always "less", and besides, what it does is to show 
that particular blob. So obviously, I think my patch is the best approach.

I think your approach is pretty sensible too.
