I do not think it is simply not worth the complexity to selectively
disable it. If it is a regression, it is much better to simply
revert, if we can (it appears that cdfd9483 (Add new @ shortcut for
HEAD, 2013-05-07) can be reverted without any textual context, but
there may already be new stuff that depends on the "@").
For the upcoming release, I am very much tempted to revert it and
let the topic retried, by people who really want the "let's save
four keystrokes and replace it with @ aka Shift-<something>",
without hurting your use case (and others), after the upcoming
release.
What do others think?
