I actually got the same impression when looking into the 
__git_aliased_command implementation. I just wasn't familiar enough with 
the code to actually come up with a solution. So thanks for your patch, 
that makes my use-case work indeed! Do you think there's a chance to get 
this upstream?

Best wishes,
Tim
