I think the following makes perfect sense:

 "HEAD@{yesterday}" = current branch, yesterday
 "@{yesterday}"     = detached head (no branch), yesterday

Okay, so you say "HEAD@{yesterday}" does _not_ give you what HEAD pointed
to yesterday, but "@{yesterday}" does?

Instead "HEAD@{yesterday}" looks up what HEAD points to _now_, and _then_
goes back to yesterday, finding out what that particular branch pointed to
then, _regardless_ what HEAD was then?

Oh my, that's convoluted.

Well, luckily Nicolas got me thinking straight again:
