As a side note, the reflog is not only a valid user interface, but an
important one: As a local developer that feeds patches to the mailing
list, I frequently change the history in my local repository (using
rebase, reset and am, or pull --rebase) to keep the commits clean when
they finally get merged upstream. I *want* and *need* at least basic
versioning for the various states my history is in.
IOW, I not only make changes to the tree and commit them to my master
branch, but I also make changes to my master branch and "commit" them to
(store them in) the reflog.
That's not an interesting use case if you're working on a branch that
other people pull from, but for a local clone it's very useful. (And
it's a feature I haven't seen in any VCSes, FWIW.)
Best,
Lea
