My typical answer when git asks, "Did you mean?"
##
# "I did [mean that]"
# Re-run the suggested git command
# Intended to be run as 'idid !!'
##
function idid() {
declare last=''
while [[ $# > 0 ]]; do
last="$last $1"
shift
done
declare suggestion="$($last 2>&1)"
declare intended=$(echo "$suggestion" | grep -A 1 'Did you mean' | tail -1)
git $intended
}

This is neat!

One question, why not just do declare last=$@ instead of the whole while loop with the shift bit?
