You can say "git checkout @{-1}" to go back. That is the commit you
came _from_.
But I think what you were computing for $that_commit was different.
It's "the ref that is checked out, even if it's detached".
After doing:
: start from anywhere
git checkout master ;# on master
git checkout branch~4 ;# detach at that commit
... hack hack hack ...
git commit; git commit
your @{-1} is 'master'; "the ref that is checked out, even if its'
detached" is 'branch~4', and that is what you want as $that_commit
in the example. That shows your _progress_, which has no relation
with 'master' that is @{-1}.
