Thanks, nice analysis.  Patch below; it uses strbuf instead of truncating
the long message, though.

We could add some kind of check there, but with the patch applied I can't
trigger this second issue any more.  It would be nice to have a test script
along with such a sanity check.  Any idea how to cause this error, perhaps
with another type of invalid reflog file?

Subject: for_each_recent_reflog_ent(): use strbuf, fix offset handling

As Vladimir reported, "git log -g refs/stash" surprisingly showed the reflog
of HEAD if the message in the reflog file was too long.  To fix this, convert
for_each_recent_reflog_ent() to use strbuf_getwholeline() instead of fgets(),
for safety and to avoid any size limits for reflog entries.

Also reverse the logic of the part of the function that only looks at file
tails.  It used to close the file if fgets() succeeded.  The following
fgets() call in the while loop was likely to fail in this case, too, so
passing an offset to for_each_recent_reflog_ent() never worked.  Change it to
error out if strbuf_getwholeline() fails instead.
