Would it be possible/reasonable to treat a bare ~3 (or ^) on the git command
line as equivalent to "<current branch>~3" ?    At least @{3} already works
this way and it would be nice to do the same for the even more common tilde
and hat operations.  If so, it would be a small convenience to just type:
"git show ~3"

Thanks,
Sean
