We can't change environment variables in aliases which doesn't start with '!'
* 'git --exec-path=path' changes $GIT_EXEC_PATH variable in
git_set_argv_exec_path
* 'git -p/--paginate' sets 'use_pager' to 1 and commit_pager_choice
will change $GIT_PAGER_IN_USE variable in setup_pager(void) from pager.c
* 'git -c' calls git_config_push_parameter which will change
$GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable
