Nice. I have something similar in a private tool (same problem: too
long paths to type). This can be made applicable to a few other
commands too, like 'diff --stat'. I think the magic character [1], be
it ':' or '/', can be used to make this (the syntax is for
demostration only):
$ git add :@{1}
equivalent to your 'git number add 1'.
