One drawback of this approach is that further error messages will be
given from the "@{-1}" string that the user never typed.
After you do that, the existing "turn - into @{-1}" pieces of code
become useless and you should remove it (probably in a further patch).
There are at least:
$ git grep -n -A1 'strcmp.*"-"' | grep -B 1 '@\{1\}'
builtin/checkout.c:975: if (!strcmp(arg, "-"))
builtin/checkout.c-976- arg = "@{-1}";
--
builtin/merge.c:1231: } else if (argc == 1 && !strcmp(argv[0], "-")) {
builtin/merge.c-1232- argv[0] = "@{-1}";
--
builtin/revert.c:158: if (!strcmp(argv[1], "-"))
builtin/revert.c-159- argv[1] = "@{-1}";
--
builtin/worktree.c:344: if (!strcmp(branch, "-"))
builtin/worktree.c-345- branch = "@{-1}";
In the final version, obviously the same "refactoring" (specific
command -> git-wide) should be done for documentation (it should be in
this patch to avoid letting not-up-to-date documentation even for a
single commit).

You may use test_commit to save a few lines of code.

I'd have split this into a "setup branches" and a '"log -" should work'
test (to actually see where "setup branches" happen in the output, and
to allow running the setup step separately if needed). Not terribly
important.

Nitpick: we stick the > and the filename (as you did in most places
already).
It may be worth adding tests for more cases like
* Check what happens with suffixes, i.e. -^, -@{yesterday} and -~.
* -..- -> to make sure you handle the presence of two - properly.
* multiple separate arguments to make sure you handle them all, e.g.
"git log - -", "git log HEAD -", "git log - HEAD".
The last two may be overkill, but the first one is probably important.
