I scanned command-list.txt briefly, and could verify (by testing rather
than code inspection) that
- bundle works as expected (thanks to dwim_ref()),
- fast-export (like bundle, dwim_ref() makes it work),
- so does filter-branch, thanks to rev-parse --symbolic-full-name
resolving @{-<n>} correctly,
- log and reflog also substitute @{-<n>} by the branch name,
- update-ref does _not_ interpret @{-<n>} as the branch name (which I
find okay, as update-ref is plumbing), but instead creates the file
'.git/@{-<n>}' (which I think is a bug).
Now, show-branch indeed does not substitute the branch _name_, but
otherwise it works correctly, no? And given the fact that show-branch
does not substitute "HEAD" with the current branch name, either, I wonder
if show-branch needs fixing at all.
Ciao,
Dscho
