The current "`git br' is aliased to `branch'" looks a bit
strange. Prepend 'git' to aliased output too so that the
end result will be looked like this:

  $ git help br
  `git br' is aliased to `git branch'

I think that is a sensible improvement, but...

What output does this produce for:

   $ git config alias.foo '!f() { git log $1@{u}..$1; }; f'
   $ git help foo

?


Oh, I didn't think of such a complicated case. Hmm, how about checking whether the first word is a git command or not:

		printf("`git %s' is aliased to `%s%s'\n", argv[0],
			is_git_command(first_word) ? "git " : "", alias);

Thanks,
