The current scripts that largely use "git-foo" do not have to be
changed.  Your --no-alias and Linus's "git - foo" would be a
"solution", but both require changes to the scripts -- and that
"solution" is necessary only because we would rewrite calls to
"git-foo" in existing scripts to "git foo" today?

No, thanks.  We should do better than that.
