[PATCH] [GSoC Microproject]Adding "-" shorthand for "@{-1}" in RESET command

Hi all, I am a GSoC '15 aspirant for git.
In this commit I have directly associated "-" to "@{-1}" except when it refers to a filename. 
All the given tests pass(except those which shouldn't).
I have to add a failsafe for the case in when there is no branch as "@{-1}". For this I have a 
rough idea that I would have to call get-sha1() on @{-1} to check if there is an object matching 
with it. But I am not able to think of the details.
Please guide me with that and give feedback for this patch.
