Yes, this was my exact thought when reading what Linus
wrote. ORIG_HEAD might be fine and all, but it pales in functionality
compared to what reflog provides.
I would very much like to see reflog getting first-class citizen
support in git:
1. Be on by default
2. Get documented in all the right places, (much better than adding
documentation for ORIG_HEAD in my opinion)
3. Tighter integration with branch manipulations. Do we already delete
reflog when deleting a branch? We don't have a branch rename
operation, but if we get one, renaming the reflog should go
hand-in-hand, etc.
