I often forget which number corresponds to which source. I seem to
recall somebody proposing :ours:$path a while ago, but I couldn't find
any reference in the archive, so perhaps I just dreamed it.
Am I the only one who messes this up? If not, patch is below.

sha1_name: allow human-readable stage aliases
This adds the alias ":ours:$path" to mean the same thing as ":2:$path",
as well as "base" (for 1) and "theirs" (for 2), for those of us who
merge infrequently and forget which is which.
The parsing is as strict as possible in order to minimize impact on
filenames with colons. However, for some (presumably unlikely)
filenames, the behavior is changed. Previously, you could look at stage
0 of any file beginning with the string "ours:" as simply "git-show
:ours:foo". Now, because of the parsing conflict, you must use "git-show
:0:ours:foo".
