Teach the "@{-1} syntax to "git branch"

This teaches the new "@{-1} syntax to refer to the previous branch to "git
branch".  After looking at somebody's faulty patch series on a topic
branch too long, if you decide it is not worth merging, you can just say:

    $ git checkout master
    $ git branch -D @{-1}

to get rid of it without having to type the name of the topic you now hate
so much for wasting a lot of your time.
