OK, it was closer to the latter.
But why is it OK to leave @{-1}, which is just as "hmm, I do not
remember what the previous branch was myself" when the user says
"@{-1}" in the output while it not OK to leave "-" in the output?
I do not think of any sane reason, and that is why I think this
improvement is not part of "teaching rebase that '-' can be used in
place of @{-1}" topic.
