Often I find myself wanting to say 'tip of "next" before I
merged the last three topics'.  Now I can say that with:

	git log next@{3}..next

Since small integers alone are invalid input strings to

Ack'd.

Its a useful feature. Something I've been wanting myself for
some time.  I usually just guess with '@{5.minutes.ago}' or some
nonsense until I find the right time.  But since I know it was X
operations ago, '@{X}' will be very handy.  Thanks!
