OK, rolling them all into one, how about this as an amend?

Subject: [PATCH] doc: add note about ignoring '--no-create-reflog'
The commands git-branch and git-tag accept the '--create-reflog'
option, and create reflog even when core.logallrefupdates
configuration is explicitly set not to.
On the other hand, the negated form '--no-create-reflog' is accepted
as a valid option but has no effect (other than overriding an
earlier '--create-reflog' on the command line). This silent noop may
puzzle users. To communicate that this is a known limitation, add a
short note in the manuals for git-branch and git-tag.
