That line was touched in by Michael in 7bd9bcf372d (refs: split filesystem-based
refs code into a new file, 2015-11-09) and before that by Ronnie in 2c6207abbd6
(refs.c: add a function to append a reflog entry to a fd, 2014-12-12)
and introduced
by Junio in 8ac65937d03 (Make sure we do not write bogus reflog
entries., 2007-01-26)
and it appears to me that 2*40 + 5 ought to be sufficient, but no
comments or commit
messages are found as to why we rather choose 100.
