That is saying a very different thing. master@{4.days} is not short for masterHEAD{4.days}.

I dunno.

As design and semantics look still fuzzy (the primary one I am not sure about is if @ is a ref or just a revision), even though the desire to have _something_ seem to be popular, I am not particulary interested in looking at an alternative patch. I want to see the right semantics first.
