Hi, I read on http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/Aliases that Starting with version 1.5.3, git supports appending the arguments to commands prefixed with "!", too. If you need to perform a reordering, or to use an argument twice, you can use this trick: [alias] example = !sh -c "ls $1 $0" AFAICT, it doesn't work with the 1.5.3.5 I use. Is it false advertising or was there some regression ?
