I agree this is is useful, but is there a danger of this being a
common typo, and people merging in previous branches a lot more often
than they ever intended? In the case of "git checkout -" that's not
as fatal, but if I ever mistype "git merge -" -- I'm now left with an
unraveling exercise to do.
Hopefully it won't be an issue, as it's no worse than mistyping branch
names -- I suppose it's the sheer length of "-" in this case which
leads to more potential for problems.
