An alternative to an alias it creating a specially named script file which must be executable and located in a directorly listed in the environment variable PATH. For instance, if you have ~/bin listed in your PATH, you can create a file named "git-relog" containing the encantation from my first mail in this thread, then call

  $ git relog

and that script will be found and executed.
