Subject: Aliasing with parameters doesn't seem to work properly in git 1.7.0.5

Hi,

i'm trying to create an alias like this:

cln = !sh -c 'git clone git://server/"$1"'

the idea is to make a shortcut, so instead of command like this:

$git clone git://server/folder/repo.git

i can have something like this:

$git cln folder/repo.git

or even
$git cln folder/repo

if the alias is like this:
cln = !sh -c 'git clone git://server/"$1".git'

this doesn't work as it tries to initialize a repo called server.git
and then fails because "remote hang up unexpecedly"
is there something wrong in expansion of this alias or the alias
itself is not valid?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eugene
