You’d eventually reinvent a shell. But for just these 2 cases you’d just need 2 separators analogous to the & and && of the shell. But yeah it gets messy if you wanted to run a non git command in the middle.
The thing is, all those !a && b are perfectly valid in both posix and cmd. It just refuses to do the whole “if it starts with ! call the shell”. I guess all that’s missing is that it just needs to execute it. That would probably be the less complicated change. That at least doesn’t seem like a big controversial addition (maybe this is already done now it was a couple of years since I tried and hit a brick wall with aliases under cmd)
