* merge parent numbers are 2-based (sanity of this statement is
  already questionable).  If HEAD is a merge, HEAD~2 is the
  "(first) side branch that was merged", HEAD~3 is the "(second)
  side brnach that was merged (in an octopus merge), and so on.

HEAD^2, 3, etc., rather? :)

Thanks for correcting me.  Yes.  And HEAD^1 is the first parent that
is the same as HEAD~1.
