This is iffy, in that it teaches the very low level machinery to interpret
it as "the tip of the previous branch" when "-" is fed to it, and has a
high risk of unintended side effects.
This makes "git log ..-" to work as expected, which is marginally useful
because the revision parameter parser misinterprets the other direction
"git log -..". It also makes "git check-ref-format --branch -" to work,
which is not very useful because Porcelains can always ask for @{-1}.
It also makes a refname whose last component is "-" forbidden.
