There is one problem with killing "/" entirely (or maybe we could
use other character than "#"). I tend to write quite often "stg diff
-r /bottom" to see how the whole patch looks like before refreshing.
With "#", the shell ignores "#bottom" as being a comment.

Otherwise, I'm OK with changing "/" with something else or just
keeping both (though I prefer to have a singe way of specifying it).
It looks like ^ and ~ are already used by GIT. It leaves us with %
and !. Do you have any preference? The exclamation mark looks OK to
me.
Ah, right. Well, I would prefer %, since ! is used for some kind of
shell history searching, but % is not touched by the shell, I think.
