Subject: checkout: implement "@{-N}" shortcut name for N-th last branch
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.2-rc0~70^2~10
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae5a6c3684c378bc32c1f6ecc0e6dc45300c14c1;p=git.git

checkout: implement "@{-N}" shortcut name for N-th last branch

Implement a shortcut @{-N} for the N-th last branch checked out, that
works by parsing the reflog for the message added by previous
git-checkout invocations.  We expand the @{-N} to the branch name, so
that you end up on an attached HEAD on that branch.
