I hadn't really appreciated the implications of all this HEAD reflog stuff 
until now.

Please, please, HEAD@{} should /always/ be an alias for <current_branch>@{}.

There is one special case:  when head is detached, <current_branch> would then 
be the "unnamed branch" for reflog purposes; personally I'd like that stored 
in .git/logs/DETACHED_HEAD or similar - in particular not in .git/logs/HEAD.
