Don't worry.
The @{-1} syntax was added long before you started getting hyperactive
this round, but it will be in 1.6.2 and has been advertised as "usable
anywhere you can use a branch name", but in reality it is not.
I have been fixing up various places to match the reality with the claim.
I am making "git merge @{-1}" work now.
