The backslashes aren't there for the shell, they are there for the git
config parser. Anyway, I reworked it a bit:
alias = "! sh -c 'case $# in \
0) git config --get-regexp \"^alias\\.\" \
| sort | sed \"s/^alias\\.//; s/=/ /\" \
| while read n v; do \
printf \"%-16s\" \"$n\"; \
echo \"$v\" | fmt -sw 63 | sed \"2,$ s/^/\t\t/\" ;\
done ;; \
1) git config \"alias.$1\" | fmt -sw 78 ;; esac' -"
And yes, it's still ugly.
Always happy to have folks help me bikeshed my git config. :-)
