The examples in the documentation refer to multiple ~N commits. To Keep 
the exampels unified with the same syntax, use ~N in all examples.
AFAIR it was already shot down.  Personally, I think it is not expecting 
too much of people to have the ambiguity between ~1 and ^1.  Even worse, 
if you hide the ^-syntax from new users, they will be puzzled how to 
access the different parents of merge commits.

Ciao,
