Reflog do not work that way. They don't say when a commit entered a repo,
only when a ref changed. For a CVS import things could work as you suggest
but I think the confusion among newcomers would be massive if people start
using reflogs 'as if' it said anyting about when a commit entered. It can be used
as a hint.
Reflogs get pruned by git-gc and are not cloned (cannot be since they store
local-only information.
Use the --since and --until switches instead.
