Subject: If you have a config containing something like this:
X-Git-Tag: v1.4.0-rc2~16^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2b11e3170e919866c7f5554dd4089289a1bb6726;p=git.git

If you have a config containing something like this:

	[alias]
		l = "log --stat -M ORIG_HEAD.."

you can call

	git l

and it will do the same as

	git log --stat -M ORIG_HEAD..
