So I dug a little more deeply, and the problem is that the reflog for master was getting updated, but not the reflog for HEAD, and that's what "git reflog" was showing --- hence my confusion. What are the rules for when HEAD's reflog should get updated, and is this documented anywhere in the man pages? - Ted Script started on Sun 18 Mar 2007 11:11:59 PM EDT Top-level shell (parent script) Using ssh-agent pid 7679 <tytso@candygram> {/home/tytso/talks/dscm/git} 1% cp -r test1 test2 ; cd test2 <tytso@candygram> {/home/tytso/talks/dscm/git/test2} 2% (cd r2; git-config core.logallrefupdates) true <tytso@candygram> {/home/tytso/talks/dscm/git/test2} 3% cat r2/.git/refs/heads/master f2e3cc0bb64c8c94b89ba07bfbdd1653584586f2 <tytso@candygram> {/home/tytso/talks/dscm/git/test2} 4% cat r2/.git/logs/HEAD 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 f2e3cc0bb64c8c94b89ba07bfbdd1653584586f2 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> 1174266825 -0400 <tytso@candygram> {/home/tytso/talks/dscm/git/test2} 5% cat r2/.git/logs/refs/heads/master 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 f2e3cc0bb64c8c94b89ba07bfbdd1653584586f2 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> 1174266825 -0400 <tytso@candygram> {/home/tytso/talks/dscm/git/test2} 6% (cd r1 ; git push ../r2) updating 'refs/heads/master' from f2e3cc0bb64c8c94b89ba07bfbdd1653584586f2 to 37508dc11dbe274d021124057fd2d027f6ce9d17 Generating pack...
