There's another thing that your proposal could change: navigating back
in history without loosing track of the branch you're on.
Currently, I can do:
# Oh, what did this look like two commits ago?
$ git checkout HEAD^^
# Ah, OK, let's go back to the tip
$ git checkout branch-name
^^^^^^^^^^^
But I have to remember and re-type the branch name.
I can imagine (not tested with your patch) doing just:
$ git checkout HEAD^^
$ git checkout BRANCH
(that's one point in favor of your change, but I'm not familiar enough
with git's internal to say whether this is sufficient to justify the
change).
