Of course you've never screwed up a repository using git commands,
right? I've messed up plenty. A good way to mess up a repo is to get
the data in .git/* out of sync with what is in the repo. I'm getting
good enough with git that I can fix most mess up with a few edits, but
it took me two years to get to that point. Rolling back to a check
point is way easier. User error and a command failing are both equally
valid ways to mess up a repo.
The reflog contains all your check points, for every modifications you 
make, even the stupid ones.  You should look at it.
