I don't know if this test is a good idea at all.  We never directly
check the messages written by a command to the reflog, and I suspect
that there is a good reason for this: the format of .git/logs is not
guaranteed to be stable, and the messages written by various commands
are not guaranteed to be stable either; the only machine-parsing of
reflogs we do is very minimal: interpret_nth_prior_checkout() and
grab_1st_switch().

A quick

  $ git grep .git/logs -- t

shows that I'm mostly right about this.

Why make an exception in the case of rebase -i?  In the worst case,
the patch atleast needs to be discussed as an independent patch: it's
certainly not obvious enough to sneak into this series.  I'll submit a
re-roll without this hunk.
