No, it does not. Carlos had a cute idea on IRC, but was too shy to mention it here. There is a central place for Git's shell script, git-sh-setup. Defining an environment variable there, GIT_NO_ALIAS, and honouring that in the Git wrapper. Something similar is possible in Git.pm for perl scripts. Note: I am opposed to overriding default parameters via alias. I am only stating that it is still possible. I am in favour of Linus' patch. Here's why: quite some times, I have been asked (at a very late stage) "What still confuses me: what is the difference between git-xyz and git xyz?" It _is_ confusing for beginners, even if it is easy to explain.
