We're talking about it on #git right now. Someone actually uses
refs like 'user@host/foo' and thus doesn't like this patch either.
We were talking about disallowing '@{' instead. Really its just
'@{<some run that smells like a date}' at the end of the ref which
would want to be disallowed; similiar to how ~ and ^ really only
need to be disallowed near the end.
The date parser grabs '@{' not '@' so 'user@host/foo@{yesterday}'
makes sense to it. But 'user@{host}/foo@{yesterday}' is going
to cause problems as the date parser will attempt to evaluate
'host}/foo@{yesterday'. :-(
