I'll have to take a (lengthy) dinner break now, but this is what I have so
far: a regression test that verifies the breakage (see the
`fix-reflog-action` branch at https://github.com/dscho/git). I'll continue
after dinner and am confident that this bug will be fixed within the next
four hours.

I noticed that, too, but at this point I am only fixing regressions. We
can try to fix this long-standing bug in the v2.20 cycle.
