Hi,
I was up for the challenge to write a non-blackbox test, but I ran into some
troubles:
It seems that the GlobalConfiguration gets read every time it is required.
Should it not be read once (lazily) and be kept in memory?
The reason this is problem for me is, that I can't modify the configuration
which will be loaded by the get_alias method (in commands.py), since it read
anew
every time its called, and I don't really want to modify the conf file for
this
non-blackbox test.

I also think it should be possible to set branch specific aliases,
where the branch specific one over-rides the global one.
I'll look into supporting this, If thats ok.

regards
Marius
