Because everyone may have their own favorite aliases?  Just because
*I* have the following aliases doesn't mean that everyone else would
find them useful.

[alias]
	new = !gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD
	dw = diff --stat --summary
	di = diff --stat --summary --cached
	dc = describe --contains
	revert-file = checkout HEAD --
	l  = log --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset' --abbrev-commit
	lr = log --reverse --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset' --abbrev-commit
	rl  = log -g --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset %gd %gs %Cgreen(%gr)%Creset %s' --abbrev-commit
	rl1  = log -g --date=relative --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset %gs %Cgreen%gd%Creset %s' --abbrev-commit
	lg  = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset' --abbrev-commit
	lgt = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset' --abbrev-commit
	rlt = log -g --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset' --abbrev-commit
	lgt-nc = log --graph --pretty=format:'%h -%d %s (%cr)' --abbrev-commit
	st = status -s
	recent = for-each-ref --count=15 --sort=-committerdate refs/heads/ --format='%(committerdate:short) %(refname:short)'
	gerrit-clone = !bash ggh gerrit-clone
	start = !bash ggh start
	upload = !bash ggh upload
	prune-branches = !bash ggh prune-branches
	fixes = log -1 --pretty=fixes

I have a huge number of bash aliases, and that doesn't mean everyone
else should have those bash aliases.  For that matter, I have the
following in ~/bin/git-rp-ext4 so that I can type "git rp-ext4
tags/ext4_for_linus".  But that doesn't mean this script is right for
everyone....
