I mentioned name-rev a few paragraphs down. No, I want the sweet and
short @h1 (or something like that). name-rev does not qualify. I don't
feel comfortable typing 8923d2d0 without looking at the keyboard, and
that's a lot of movement on the keyboard. upstream/pu is a bit
better, but still very long (at least for me). Yes TAB-ing does help,
but not enough. Then you'll get the dreadful "^2~1^3" dance.
