Sorry to enter this thread that late, but I did not realize that it
touches my %<branch> work.
Your proposal leads to something like "master@{upstream}@{2.days.ago}",
which looks ugly. And it is much more to type.
I still think that it is not too-much asked for to require the
"refs/heads/" prefix if somebody starts her branch names with "%".
Or did I miss something (as I do not have time to read long mails these
days, I tend to read only the short, to-the-point ones; I allowed myself
to only skim over the rest of your mail)?
Ciao,
