Which kinda defeats the purpose of having a short-and-easy-to-write
refname, no? "'%master" is not that easy to type, I at least get my
fingers mixed up in the "'% sequence. Perhaps we should reserve these
special characters now, and deprecate their use? Junio seemed to be
open to that (quoted below)...
But it's not supposed to be easy to type ...
To use the new syntax you type %master only. What I was proposing was a
way to get at the branch that you had before the wizzy new feature was
added. Something you only do once to rename it - why waste an easy to
type sequence on that?
I agree that adding some more reserved characters is a reasonable way
forward - but I think a way should be provided for people who are
_already_ using those characters to rename their branches to something that
avoids those characters in a simple (but not necessarily easy to type)
way.
