Aliases that invoke shell commands start from the top-level directory,

Could you please also think if it is worth mentioning what happens when
you do not even have a top-level directory?  I.e. in a bare repository.

Yes I thought about it.  I decided not to add that because
it is:

  - not common enough (how many new users fiddle in bare
    repos?)


I do that quite a lot, but I can't recall ever using an alias
in a bare repo. It would be odd if I did, as the only alias I've
got is this:

  alias.wsfix=!git diff HEAD >P.diff && git reset --hard HEAD && git apply --whitespace=fix P.diff && rm -f P.diff

which isn't always doing the right thing even in a non-bare
repository, and never in a bare one.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
