git reset -' will reset to the previous branch. It will behave similar
to @{-1} except when a file named '@{-1}' is present. To refer to a file
named '-', use ./- or the -- flag.

Eric, I have added a user_input variable to record the input entered by the
user. This way I can avoid the multiple 'if' clauses. Thank you for the
suggestion.
I have also removed the unrelated change that I had unintentionally committed.
I am sending this patch on the thread for further review. Once both the patches
are reviewed and accepted, I will create a new mail for it. Hope that is okay.
Regards,
Sudhanshu
