I thought that it would be very useful to have a history of git
commands that have been run against a repo, in order to hopefully
debug this sort of thing --- perhaps only those that modify the repo.
The "reflog" is kind of that, and you can literally do
less .git/logs/refs/heads/master
to get some kind of idea what's up.
Newer gits enable reflogs by default, older gits don't (and *really* old
git versions don't support it at all).
Of course, we should probably just have a
git reflog show
command for this to make it prettier.
$ git log -g?
