Hi Oswald, Junio and Phillip.
Thank you for your reviews. Let me reply to each comments.

That's good. I'll fix it.

That's correct. Your examples helped me understand.

That's correct too.

Finally, How should I update the documentation? How about following changes?
- You may also specify `-` which is synonymous to `@{-1}`.
+ Only some commands (checkout, switch, etc,), you may also specify `-` which is synonymous to `@{-1}`.
Other commands also seem to accept '-', such as `cherry-pick`.
It's not good idea to write all commands that accepted it.
Best Wishes
