Actually that was a bit tongue-in-cheek, syntactically incorrect (I believe missing '='), I'm not actually sure it will work, nor if the patch for this actually got in to 1.5.0. The patch I saw does not appear to pass the rest of the command line to the system call, but perhaps I'm wrong and someone else can confirm.

If the patch to do this is reasonable, I would expect the command:

% git scp -rp . me@remotehost:/directory

to expand to:

% scp -rp . me@remotehost:/directory

and if not, I think it should, just as when I have:

[alias]
	pub = push /my/repo

and:

% git pub branch:branch

expands to:

% git push /my/repo branch:branch
