True.  If I were doing this, I would at least do something like

    [alias]
	rg = "!sh -c 'git log --oneline --abbrev-commit --graph \
		--decorate --color ${1-\"--all\"} \"$@\"' -"

so that

 (1) "git rg" without any argument will default to "--all"
 (2) "git rg --exclude 'wip*' --branches" would work as expected,
     just like "git rg --first-parent master..seen" would.

Thanks.
