It's not like we will be adding 'push' objects and 'merge'
objects, so I think HEAD^{push} (curly brace, not bracket) is
good enough.

We need to see how useful this would be in practice; we would
not want to add new syntax without a set of convincing use
cases.  At this point, it still feels as if it is a feature that
was implemented only because it could, not because there was a
real need.
