Aliases don't seem to be working for me; I'm using git 1.5.0-rc4.  Am
I doing something wrong?

<tytso@candygram> {/usr/projects/linux/linux-2.6}  [master]
37% git version
git version 1.5.0.rc4
<tytso@candygram> {/usr/projects/linux/linux-2.6}  [master]
38% git config alias.new "gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD"
<tytso@candygram> {/usr/projects/linux/linux-2.6}  [master]
39% git new
git: 'new' is not a git-command

The most commonly used git commands are:
    add            Add file contents to the changeset to be committed next
    apply          Apply a patch on a git index file and a working tree
    archive        Creates an archive of files from a named tree
	...

<tytso@candygram> {/usr/projects/linux/linux-2.6}  [master]
40% tail .git/config
