Thanks.

"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"

NOTE: the arguments start with $0, not with $1 as you are
used from shell scripts." [cited from the link above]

should do the job.
