Re: [PATCH v3] Introduce BEL<branch> as shortcut to the tracked branch

Andreas Gruenbacher [off-list ref] writes:

For me this defeats the purpose; I can just as well type origin/branch (or 
whatever it is) instead of branch^{origin}.  I'm really looking for something 
very short like % or %branch.

I was thinking of ../branch (so, replace % with ../ in your patch,
roughly). The cool thing is that my fingers are used to ../ already.
The bad things are 1) not sure the "analogy" with .. in filesystem is
good, and 2) this interacts badly with ref..branch. ref..%branch was
cool, ref..../branch is less cool.

Or is //branch an idea?

My 2 cents,
