Subject: [PATCH] Add "look up parent" logic for the simple names.

It uses the jit syntax, at least for now. 0-xxxx is the first parent of xxxx,
while 1-xxxx is the second, and so on. You can use just "-xxxx" for the first
parent, but a lot of commands will think that the initial '-' implies a
command line flag.
