Now, if I could run

to show the same history.
Unfortunately, "--graph" and "-g" does not mix X-<.
So, the RFD is,
(1) Should "git log" learn a trick to show a history like this in a
readable way? Does it have utility outside this use case of
mine? I am not interested in adding a new feature just for
myself ;-)
i'm not sure i fully understand your use case; i failed to extract the
conceptual requirements from your description.
but as a "heavy revisionist", i would appreciate it very much if there
was a convenient way to list and diff revisions of the same logical
commit (ideally omitting empty rebases). sort of like a range-diff on
steroids.
this would certainly require correlating the reflog with some stable
commit ids, like gerrit and jj maintain.
