What are the differences between templates and template aliases?

[glehmann]

Hi!

Jujutsu config has [templates] and [template-aliases] tables, but I'm not sure why.
Could someone explain what are differences between them, or point me to a doc that does?

Thanks!

This PR has a better doc.

Oof, I need to find the time to rebase that...

I'm afraid I still can't find the difference between [templates] and [template-aliases], even after looking at that PR :-/

[template-aliases] is a free-form table in which user can define arbitrary aliases as they want. [templates] contains the defaults for a certain commands (e.g. templates.log.)
