Well, I think "git view" should not be just "predefined alias that the
user can override wholesale", which is what you currently have.  I think
it can just be an example in "git config" manpage (i.e. "If you want to,
you can alias 'view' to 'gitk' or 'gitview'") and I do not think we need
core-side support for that.

If it becomes cleverer, that's a different story.  Noticing if the user
is in windowing environment or not, and acting differently, would make
it a single command that acts sensibly and in context sensitive way.
