I do not want to suggest this because I do not think of a good way to
implement it myself, but it would be very nice if this feature can be
enabled by default for interactive session and disabled for scripts.

Well, actually I think I do ;-)

Perhaps have a bash alias that does:

	alias git="git --dwim"

only in interactive session (ensuring "only in interactive" is the
responsibility of the end user), with the global option similar to
the "--paginate" that "git" wrapper itself takes?
