That "^^" is the most important reason why your "^ is the same as HEAD^" is flawed, and goes against my taste. Think what "log ^^ origin" would mean. Is it "log ^HEAD^ origin"? Is it "log HEAD^^ origin"? They mean totally different things. Compared to that, at least ~<n> does not have such ambiguity within the context of Git (having to quote is an ambiguity within the context of using Git with shells that support dirstacks in their tilde expansion). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
