This makes it easy to get rid of short-lived branches:
$ git switch -c experiment
$ git switch -
$ git branch -D -
Or you can use @{-1} directly. Or short-lived experiment can
directly be done on HEAD without any branch ;-)
Thanks for trying to make Git better.
Patches implementing this behavior for `git branch -D` have been
submitted previously but were rejected (if I recall correctly) since
"delete" is a destructive operation, unlike other cases in which `-` is
accepted. A relatively recent submission and ensuing discussion is at [1].
