1. I have already worked on this project, and my patch is in the
"Needs review" section in "What's cooking". It implements this change
inside sha1_name.c and doesn't touch git branch. So, your patch is
mutually exclusive to my previous patch.

2. Matthieu made an argument against enabling commands like "git
branch -D -" even by mistake [1]. The way that I have implemented
ensured that not a lot of "rm"-like commands were enabled.

My patch that would enable this shorthand for other projects is
here[2].
