I think I didn't word carefully enough there. I didn't mean to dispute the
use of the test. The test I proposed would make sense in t0061, but I
would rather have expected the test in Jeff's patch in a tests that
specifically targets aliases. It would be less surprising, wouldn't it?
The fact that git goes through start_command before doing aliases is
merely an implementation detail, from my point of view.
