Subject: Advanced aliases with arguments (?)

Hi,

I read on http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/Aliases that

        Starting with version 1.5.3, git supports appending the
        arguments to commands prefixed with "!", too. If you need to
        perform a reordering, or to use an argument twice, you can use
        this trick:

        [alias]
                example = !sh -c "ls $1 $0"


AFAICT, it doesn't work with the 1.5.3.5 I use. Is it false advertising
or was there some regression ?

Mike
