Aside, AIX has commands that are run both directly or via smit (a
curses-based interface). When smit calls the commands, it passes a
switch to let said commands know that they are being run from smit.
e.g.:
-J
This flag is used when the installp command is executed from the
System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) menus.
Perhaps adding such a concept to those git commands which can be used
in both porcelain and plumbing contexts would be useful for git.
