Right. _This_ is the special case, which the old logic didn't quite convey. The end-user version of this is: 'git checkout -' won't bring you back to the branch if you said git checkout HEAD~1 earlier. > diff --git a/sha1_name.c b/sha1_name.c > index 3820f28..6428001 100644 > --- a/sha1_name.c > +++ b/sha1_name.c > @@ -431,13 +431,14 @@ static inline int upstream_mark(const char *string, int len) > } > > static int get_sha1_1(const char *name, int len, unsigned char *sha1, unsigned lookup_flags); > +static int interpret_nth_prior_checkout(const char *name, struct strbuf *buf); It didn't strike me to use interpret_nth_prior_checkout() directly.

You've already hit the beginning. What are you continuing? Take the example of a compound expression with @{- @{-1}@{0} ^ at is here "@{-" is not matched @{-1}@{0} ^ at is here "@{-" is matched What's to continue? at is already at 0 On another note, I think you've fixed a bug: @{-1}{0} was parsing to the same value as @{-1}@{0} before your patch. > @@ -460,20 +465,22 @@ static int get_sha1_basic(const char *str, int len, unsigned char *sha1) > if (len && ambiguous_path(str, len)) > return -1; > > - if (!len && reflog_len) { > + if (nth_prior) { nth_prior makes this much cleaner overall. > struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT; > - int ret; > - /* try the @{-N} syntax for n-th checkout */ > - ret = interpret_branch_name(str+at, &buf); > - if (ret > 0) { > - /* substitute this branch name and restart */ > - return get_sha1_1(buf.buf, buf.len, sha1, 0); > - } else if (ret == 0) { > - return -1; > + int detached; > + > + if (interpret_nth_prior_checkout(str, &buf) > 0) { > + detached = (buf.len == 40 && !get_sha1_hex(buf.buf, sha1)); > + strbuf_release(&buf); > + if (detached) > + return 0; Neat. I'd set reflog_len to zero and made sure that the last part of the function wouldn't be executed.
