*shrug*

For one thing there was no commit message.

I made up a message, split the changes I made into smaller patches, and added a fixed up version of your patch on top, since it had some context that is not in any version I have.

Johannes Schindelin (1):
  interpret_nth_last_branch(): avoid traversing the reflogs twice

Junio C Hamano (1):
  checkout: implement "@{-N}" shortcut name for N-th last branch

Thomas Rast (3):
  sha1_name: tweak @{-N} lookup
  sha1_name: support @{-N} syntax in get_sha1()
  checkout: implement "-" abbreviation, add docs and tests
