"Because ref backends manage reflogs" may be a good explanation to
implement something as part of ref API, but it does not explain why
that something needs to be implemented in the first place.

It makes sense to take more than one; you may want to prepare more
than one, and you would signal error by exiting with a non-zero
status if any of them failed.

This is iffy, though.  "git reflog exists foo bar" says "all of them
exist" or "some of them exist"?  Why is it more useful to implement
"all of them exist"?

Perhaps dropping "..." would be simpler to explain and less
confusing.

s/start ;/start;/ (everywhere).
