A reflog entry is not a branch; it is just a pointer to the commit where
a branch was at some point. Using "git checkout" on it will let you
explore the contents, just as you might with a tag. If you want to build
on it, you need to either:
1. Make a new branch to work on, starting at that point:
git checkout -b my-topic master@{1}
2. Reset your current branch (and worktree) to point at that commit:
git reset --hard master@{1}
