Re: [PATCH] Add new @ shortcut for HEAD

It does make sense.  (Try it with my patch) [*1*]

and "update-ref @" does not update HEAD?

Why should update-ref update HEAD?  I'm asking it to update the
symbolic-ref override .git/@.

*1* I made a mistake in the commit message when I said that git
symbolic-ref @ HEAD had the exact same effect.
