From aa9c55b66719c86896d134d35de8c263c078a481 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de>

Subject: Fix parsing of @{-1}@{1}

To do that, Git no longer looks forward for the '@{' corresponding to the
closing '}' but backward, and dwim_ref() as well as dwim_log() learnt
about the @{-<N>} notation.
