Subject: [PATCH] Allow "-" as a short-hand for "@{-1}" in "git branch -d @{-1}"
Date: Sun,  6 Mar 2016 18:18:14 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457268494-8394-2-git-send-email-dpdineshp2@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1457268494-8394-1-git-send-email-dpdineshp2@gmail.com>

From: Dinesh <dpdineshp2@gmail•com>

The "-" shorthand can be used as a replacement for "@{-1}" to refer
to the previous branch the user was on in the "git branch -d @{-1}"
command.
Replace "-" argument with "@{-1}" when the command line arguments
are parsed.
