The "-d" and "-D" options being the more detructive ones among other
operation modes of the command, I am not sure if this change is even
desirable. Even if it were, the implementation to special case a
single argument case like this ...
> + if ((argc == 1) && !strcmp(argv[0], "-")) {
> + argv[0] = "@{-1}";
> + }
... (by the way, we don't write braces around a single statement
block) would invite cries from confused users why none of these ...
$ git branch -m - new-name
$ git branch new-branch -
$ git branch --set-upstream-to=<upstream> -
work and "-" works only for deletion.
So, I dunno.
