I like the idea, but I would like something more generic, a ref
transformation or expression (ref-exp?). Currently you can't say
%(tip)@{1}, neither %(tip)^, nor origin/master..origin/%(tip).

Another issue is that it can shadow builtin @{}s, like @{upstream}.

Why %(tip) and not %(branchname), in line with other %() modifiers.

In particular I have a use case for this @{name}. I would like something like:

ref-exp.last = %(tip)@{1}..%(tip)@{0}

so I could do:

git log @{last}
git log origin/master@{last}

Although another way to get it could be:

git log @{1..0}
git log origin/master@{1..0}

Thanks,
Santi
