I wondered if it might affect how "git checkout -" works. But that feature looks for reflogs like "checkout: moving from X to Y" to know to move back to X. So we are fine here. Even though the HEAD reflog does not show us going _to_ new-master, we would see it in a later entry as "from new-master to Y". What we are missing is "rename from master to new-master", but that entry does not matter. There is no "master" to go back to anymore. :) -Peff
