[PATCH v2 0/7] Clean up interpret_nth_last_branch feature

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date

Message-ID
<cover.1237791716.git.gitster@pobox.com>
The changes since the previous round are:
 - Tightening of the refname rule comes very late in the series, so that
   we can optionally drop it;
 - In addition to allowing "git branch -d bad@{name}ref.", we also allow
   "git branch -d bad@{name}ref. good-one" as another escape hatch;
 - Update documentation to git-check-ref-format to describe the tightened
   rules.
Junio C Hamano (7):
  Rename interpret/substitute nth_last_branch functions
  strbuf_branchname(): a wrapper for branch name shorthands
  check-ref-format --branch: give Porcelain a way to grok branch
    shorthand
  Fix branch -m @{-1} newname
  strbuf_check_branch_ref(): a helper to check a refname for a branch
  check_ref_format(): tighten refname rules
  checkout -: make "-" to mean "previous branch" everywhere
