Hi,

I would like to request a feature for `git diff`: to allow the use of `-` as a shortcut for `@{-1}`. Currently, `git merge` and `git checkout` both support using `-` as a shortcut for `@{-1}`, and I hope this functionality can be extended to `git diff` as well.

Thank you for considering this request.
Best regards
