After step 6/7, we no longer "allow cycles in reflog ancestry", as
there will be no reflog ancestry to speak of ;-), so it would be
nice to remove the comment above in that step.  But alternatively,
we can rephrase the comment here, to say something like "the same
commit can be shown multiple times while showing entries from the
reflog" instead.
