The failure case which occurs on teaching git the '-' shorthand is when there exists no branch pointed to by '@{-1}'. In this case, if there is a file named - in the working tree, the user can be unambiguously assumed to be referring to it while issuing this command.

The ambiguous case occurs when the @{-1} branch exists and file named '-' also exists in the working tree. This are also treated as a failure case but here the user is given advice as to how he can proceed.

Another potentially tricky case is when the file '@{-1}' exists. In this case, the command should succeed as the user hasn't mentioned the file '@{-1}' and can be safely assumed to be referring to the @{-1} branch.

Add tests to check the handling of these cases. Also add a test to verify that reset - behaves like reset @{-1} when none of the above cases are true.
