I found this in feh's .desktop file and liked the idea:
With `--start-at` feh will load all files from the directory of the
given file and start the filelist at the given one.
This of course breaks easily if I want to pass more flags before the
file argument, but is easily fixed by first specifying the argument to
`--start-at` and continuing with the rest. I also rarely use any flag
besides the one already defined in the alias.
It's really annoying if it tries to correct me when I create a new
directory that is named similar to an existing one.
Group together aliases that add a precommand modifier.
Since `mkdir` receives the `-p` flag already via `add_flags` the `md`
alias can directly alias to `mkdir` instead.
In the flat/non-graph view merge commits are a bit distracting. Still
unsure if I will forget about this and one day wonder why I don't see
merge commits.
When passing a full command as arguments to another (e.g. `sudo`),
aliases are not expanded.
Add the `$` alias that makes it possible to expand a following alias
anywhere. This uses the feature that aliases ending in a space will
trigger alias expansion on the next argument.

Sometimes I want to see other branches but the repository is too big for
`--graph`.
Add `gla` as alias to `glog --branches --remotes` similar to `glll`.
Add `glla` as further alias to `glll` and make the brace expansion more
verbose for better readability.
Instead of simply pointing the database to XDG_DATA_HOME, write a
wrapper function that searches for `.tmsu/db` in all parent directories
and fallbacks to XDG_DATA_HOME if not found.
Also create XDG_DATA_HOME/tmsu if necessary.
Use the `destination-only` edit format when renaming files with `qmv`.
`dual-column` mode got on my nerves as I tend to forget with side is
source and which is destination. On top, the `swap` option breaks as
soon as I change the length of a filename.
`single-column` mode is useless for me, as I tend to make changes in
visual block mode.
Add an alias that switches directories into the repository root, instead
of having the normal `cd` command behave like that.
Sadly this is not possible (AFAIK) with a git alias as that will always
spawn a subshell.
