I have finally settled on:

[alias]
    locate = !sh -c 'git ls-files | grep --color=auto "$1"' -

This acts as if there is a leading and trailing wildcard, and also
colors the output nicely.

Can we add this as default please?  There didn't seem to be any
resistance in this thread to making it default, just that nobody did
it :)
