I have "[alias] lg = log --oneline --no-merges" and I do appreciate that it tells the expansion, because I also have other similar ones like "[alias] lgm = log --notes-ref=amlog", "lgf", etc. I don't want the expansion to be erased by manual page of "log"; typically the output from man is piped to less(1). Besides, I may not know what "log" does, but at least I studied what options it takes when coming up with the hardcoded leading options already. I don't want to see the manual page of "log" by default when I ask git about "lg". If git tells me "lg" expands to "log --oneline", and I do not remember what other options "log" takes, I'll ask git myself about "log", not "lg". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
