But the regression is only for `:/`. Not for `HEAD^{/}`. I’m sorry
that I wasn’t clear in my previous message[1] since I didn’t establish
the context properly:
I have indeed noticed that `HEAD^{/}` returns a sensible thing while
`:/` does something strange like finding the root commit.
What I had noticed myself for a little while was that `HEAD^{/}` on
Git 2.47.0 did something that I wanted (and which is documented) while
`:/` behaved (behaves) weirdly. I just shrugged that off since the
second syntax is more useful anyway (like Junio said).
