Junio C Hamano 4f7599ac25 [PATCH] Add a new extended SHA1 syntax <name>~<num> ...

The new notation is a short-hand for <name> followed by <num>
caret ('^') characters.  E.g. "master~4" is the fourth
generation ancestor of the current "master" branch head,
following the first parents; same as "master^^^^" but a bit
more readable.

This will be used in the updated "git show-branch" command.
