We can easily tell this part from @{nth} style notation by looking to see if the value is unreasonably large for an @{nth} style notation. The value 100000000 was chosen as it is already used by date.c to disambiguate yyyymmdd format from a seconds-since-epoch time value. A reflog with 100,000,000 record entries is also simply not valid. Such a reflog would require at least 7.7 GB to store just the old and new SHA-1 values. So our randomly chosen upper limit for @{nth} notation is "big enough". Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
