Hi,
after a couple of months of inactivity I recently updated my git clone
from the main repo, and later ran 'git gc', which, of course,
dutifully pruned the old reflog entries, leaving my reflogs quite
shallow:
$ git reflog master
0dbd8125 master@{0}: merge origin/master: Fast-forward
f3828dc0
Then later I had to access the previous state, which I usually do with
master@{1}, but not this time:
$ git log --oneline -1 master@{1}
fatal: Log for 'master' only has 1 entries.
Annoyed, I just copy-pasted the sha and got the job done.
However, I wonder why it didn't worked. 'git reflog' didn't print
master@{1} or any message for the oldest entry, but I can live without
that. The sha is undoubtedly there, however, so git should know where
master@{1} points and should "Just Work", shouldn't it?
Thanks,
Gábor
