DESCRIPTION

@ -63,8 +63,11 @@ reference name expressions (see linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]):
. at-open-brace `@{` is used as a notation to access a reflog entry.
With the `--branch` option, it expands a branch name shorthand and
prints the name of the branch the shorthand refers to.
With the `--branch` option, it expands the ``previous branch syntax''
`@{-n}`. For example, `@{-1}` is a way to refer the last branch you
were on. This option should be used by porcelains to accept this
syntax anywhere a branch name is expected, so they can act as if you
typed the branch name.
