Hi *,

  when a reflog entry do not have a reflog message the refs@{num}
syntax gives a different result than with 'git log -g'. Actually 'git
log -g' just skips this ref.

Also:

$ git log origin/master

works, but

$ git log -g origin/master

does not. You have to put the remotes prefix.

I hesitate "fixing" that. I mean, if you want to know about the remote 
branch "master" why not be precise? Yes, "git log" _is_ nice if you want 
to be sloppy.

But if you _have_ to have it, see attached patch. I will not push for it 
in time for 1.5.0, though, since I have a track record of not getting 
patches right on the first try.

Ciao,
Dscho
