Maybe I'm late on this, but to me, who leaves in the Linux world,
"a_command -" strongly suggests a_command will read further input
from stdin.

[...]

... so this suggests that the command, when used like this:

$ echo "branch_name" | git branch -D -

will delete "branch_name" rather than some "previous" branch, whatever
that means.

Is this short-cut /that/ important to create yet another confusion?
