Yeah, or use the @{-N} revision to do that for me. My scripted version is essentially:

  test "true" = "$(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null)" || exit 1
  git checkout master
  git branch -D @{-1}

The main problem is the hard-coding of "master": I suppose I could replace that with @{-1} too.

Not a big deal: I was just wondering if others use it often enough for it to become `branch -Dc` in core; @{-N} is quite obscure.
