Yes, in retrospect "view" is probably not the best. "lshistory" just
looks awful, and I think it's wrong for an option to "git show" to
change it from a terminal application into a GUI application.

"visualize" is actually pretty good, except that it would be painful to
type. On the other hand, I will probably still just type "gitk". I
actually think these sorts of aliases may be most useful for user-facing
scripts to say "and now show the dataset in the user's graphical history
browser of choice."
