To use the new syntax you type %master only. What I was proposing was a way to get at the branch that you had before the wizzy new feature was added. Something you only do once to rename it - why waste an easy to type sequence on that?
Oooooh, sorry, I totally understood your suggestion the wrong way around! In that case, I like it! :)
I agree that adding some more reserved characters is a reasonable way forward - but I think a way should be provided for people who are _already_ using those characters to rename their branches to something that avoids those characters in a simple (but not necessarily easy to type) way.
Your suggestion on how to escape the DWIMery sounds sane to me :). -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
