No, it does not.

Carlos had a cute idea on IRC, but was too shy to mention it here. There 
is a central place for Git's shell script, git-sh-setup. Defining an 
environment variable there, GIT_NO_ALIAS, and honouring that in the Git 
wrapper. Something similar is possible in Git.pm for perl scripts.

Note: I am opposed to overriding default parameters via alias. I am only 
stating that it is still possible.

I am in favour of Linus' patch. Here's why: quite some times, I have been 
asked (at a very late stage) "What still confuses me: what is the 
difference between git-xyz and git xyz?" It _is_ confusing for beginners, 
even if it is easy to explain.

Ciao,
Dscho
