How do you set this by default? I looked through git-config, and elsewhere, but I couldn't find any way to do it, short of using a shell wrapper.

In your ~/.gitconfig:

    [alias]
      ci = commit -v

Then always commit with: git ci

you can probably do something like shadow the commit command with an alias in your global pref file

git (sensibly so) refuses to permit aliases like that.
