GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is an environment variable specifying the reflog
message to write after an action is completed. Other commands including
merge, reset, and commit respect it.
This incidentally fixes a bug in t/checkout-last. You can now expect
$ git checkout -
to work fine after an interactive rebase.
