Hi everyone,

As my first Outreachy submission micropoject I’ve chosen to try to approach “Allow “-“ as a short-hand for “@{-1}” in more places.” (http://git.github.io/SoC-2016-Microprojects/ (Cf. $gmane/230828)) My goal was to teach git branch to accept - shortcut and interpret it as “previous working branch”, i.e $git branch -D - Really looking forward to hear what do you think, so please let me know if something is done incorrectly, etc. Thank you, Elena
