Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] Teach @{-1} to git merge

Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] writes:

The advertised new feature is that you can use the @{-1} syntax anywhere
you would use a branch name and it would work as if you typed the name of
the branch, so in that sense show-branch that shows @{-1} and does not
show the name of the branch is a bug.

I've checked "checkout -b new -t @{-1}", too.  Just for completeness's
sake.
