So HEAD@{0}~0^0 is too much to type, but we can remove '^0', and we can
remove '~0', and we can remove 'HEAD', which leaves us with @{0}, but we
can't remove '{0}'?
This patch allows '@' to be the same as 'HEAD'.
So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.
Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so lets
make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

Drop the last two patches of the previous series, and replace with this one,
which is the real deal ;)
