Shell-scripts would have the same problem if you alias "awk" to "grep" f.e., which is why prudent shell-scripters use the "unalias -a" thing. Anyways, this should be largely solvable by inventing a "--no-aliases" switch to the git wrapper, or by the scripts calling the programs they need directly which, afaik, bypasses the alias logic. If it doesn't, it should. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Sat Dec 16 02:49:16 2006
