In the longer run, we may want to allow "git foo" to alias to
"git foo --preferred-options", although we currently do not
allow such an alias. Scripts, especially the ones we ship,
would not want to be confused by the user aliases when that
happens.

So I am somewhat negative on this, unless there is a way for
scripts to say "Even though I say 'git foo', I do mean 'git foo'
not whatever the user has aliased".
