What does not work are what needs further tweaking in revision.c
parser.  "git checkout master && git checkout next && git log -.."
should show what next has on top of master but I didn't touch the
range notation so it does not work, for example.

 builtin/checkout.c |  3 ---
 builtin/merge.c    |  3 +--
 builtin/revert.c   |  2 --
 revision.c         |  2 +-
 sha1_name.c        | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------

Like it :)

It removes the special casing and makes a shorthand available
systematically. I'd say it's useful even without extending it to ranges.

I wouldn't have done this if I thought it will lead to an unusable
blind alley ;-) But I won't be hacking on this any further for now.

Hint hint...
