Hi,
  Many times I want to refer to 'HEAD^', 'HEAD^^' and sometimes even
further up the tree. It would be really nice if I didn't have to type
'HEAD^' but could only type '^'. Bash completion make things easier
but it automatically inserts a space immediately after HEAD so you
have to hit backspace. I think this change would be good in general
anyway.
