So HEAD@{0}~0^0 is too much to type, but we can remove '^0', and we can
remove '~0', and we can remove 'HEAD', but we can't remove '{0}'?

This patch allows 'HEAD@' to be the same as 'HEAD@{0}', and similarly with
'master@'.

So we can type '@' instead of 'HEAD@', or rather 'HEAD'. So now we can
use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.

This patch also allows funny things like @{-1}@ (wanted to try the
cute syntax @{u}@ but too lazy to setup upstream)

Yeah, I thought about that, and I thought it was harmless. Specially
considering that doing anything else would be less elegant code-wise.

Cheers.
