How do I use Sapling while maintaining compatibility with "steamlocomotive"?

Sapling provides a way for you to configure its behaviour when it's run without any subcommands inside or outside a repository.

To make sl resolve to the steam locomotive UNIX command (the original sl), you can create an alias and configure the no-repo behaviour to call it, by running:

sl config --user 'alias.steamlocomotive=!/full/path/to/steamlocomotive' 'commands.naked-default.no-repo=steamlocomotive'

If you also want to run the steamlocomotive when inside a repo, you can also add 'commands.naked-default.in-repo=steamlocomotive' to the end of the command.
