    git symbolic-ref -m "Create @ alias for HEAD" @ HEAD

I find this very interesting.  I already have a symbolic ref H
pointing to HEAD, but it has some quirks: H@{u} complains that H is an
invalid branch for example.  When I create the symbolic-ref @, I'm not
_exactly_ creating a synonym for HEAD: @{u} works, not @@{u}.

Habits aside, why do you do H@{u} when @{u} is enough (and shorter)?
