It's not even all that convenient on a U.S. keyboard. My pinky suffers
a bit having to pop on and off of shift for the '{', '1', '}'. Then
again, I don't like having to hold shift down for all of ORIG_HEAD
either, (but it's definitely easier in comparison).
But since reflog does everything ORIG_HEAD does and more, shall we
just clean up the syntax somehow? Ideas anyone? And then fix the
documentation to explain that?
