Comment (by mmezzarobba):

 Replying to [comment:51 SimonKing]:
 > Thank you! Can you briefly explain to me the differences between
 `^HEAD`, `HEAD^` and `HEAD~`? I keep forgetting what is what.

 The last two specify revisions (commits): `rev^k` is the `k`-th parent of
 `rev`; `rev~k` is the grand^`k`^-first-parent of `rev`; `rev^` and `rev~`
 are shorthands `rev^1` == `rev~1`.

 `^rev` is something different: it is used to specify lower bounds of
 ranges of revisions. For example, `rev1 rev2 ^rev3` is the set of all
 ancestors of `rev1` or `rev2` that are not ancestors of `rev3`.

 See `git help revisions` for the full syntax of revision specifications.
