In my particular case, I was glancing through the logs, and I wanted to grab
the second branch that someone else had made that was merged into pu. I would
have loved to be able to run something like
git merge origin/pu^{:nth(2)/nd/}
While we're speaking of modifiers, could we use one that says "only search
the first parent hierarchy", e.g. something equivalent to git log's --first-parent
flag?
