No, it does not.
Carlos had a cute idea on IRC, but was too shy to mention it here. There
is a central place for Git's shell script, git-sh-setup. Defining an
environment variable there, GIT_NO_ALIAS, and honouring that in the Git
wrapper. Something similar is possible in Git.pm for perl scripts.
Note: I am opposed to overriding default parameters via alias. I am only
stating that it is still possible.
I am in favour of Linus' patch. Here's why: quite some times, I have been
asked (at a very late stage) "What still confuses me: what is the
difference between git-xyz and git xyz?" It _is_ confusing for beginners,
even if it is easy to explain.
Ciao,
Dscho
