Yes, I already have @ pointing to HEAD. And I think it's much nicer
than H (also since H@{u} doesn't resolve [1]). The purpose of this
patch is to standardize @ for everyone.

That's because the part after "ref: " in a symref is expected to point
to a concrete ref, and doesn't go through the get_sha1_basic()
machinery. Making symrefs peel recursively might or might not be a
good idea; I haven't thought about it enough. However, it's not my
itch: write a patch and start a discussion?
