If you want to define macros for your personal use, then that's your
prerogative, but I don't think that it's a good idea to encourage them by
putting them in the repo's .gitconfig file.
Why? I don't quite buy the argument. You're essentially asking for rote
memorization. Also, process should only be helped by macros that enforce it.
