This micro-patch is meant to allow “-“ as a short-hand for
“@{-1} for branch -d (Cf. $gmane/230828). Based on feedback
for v2:

* suppressable advice on restoring if a user deletes a branch
via @{-x} or - reference (to ensure safety: if a user deleted
the wrong branch instead what she thought is @{-1}, which seems
to be more likely compared with the situation when branch name
has to be typed in)

* if not enough switches exist to delete branch via @{-x} or -
reference, a corresponding warning is displayed 

Thank you! Looking forward to any feedback.

 With a `-d` or `-D` option, `<branchname>` will be deleted.  You may
 specify more than one branch for deletion.  If the branch currently
 has a reflog then the reflog will also be deleted.
+The "@{-N}" syntax for the N-th last branch deletes the specified branch.
+You may also specify - which is synonymous with "@{-1}".
 
 Use `-r` together with `-d` to delete remote-tracking branches. Note, that it
 only makes sense to delete remote-tracking branches if they no longer exist
