title: Git alias cannot echo without newline
body: <p>I'm trying to create the following git alias:</p>
  
  <pre><code>stat = "!stat() { echo -n Number of revisions:; git log --oneline | wc -l;}; stat"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the output is wrong:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; git stat
  -n Number of revisions:
      5917
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output I want is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; git stat
  Number of revisions: 5917
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it normal that the -n option doesn't work ?
  It does on the command line though.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using git version 2.5.0.</p>
