Why not?

Is see the hole I left in my logic, so let me restate.

... or we expect "human parsing of the the log" is a valid common
user-interface for non-git developers.

The reflog is one of the primary user interface for all git users. 
Please just try:

	git reflog

and see for yourself.

And if you want more details, then just try:

	git log -g

You may even try any combination of flags in addition to -g with
'git log'.

I hope you'll feel much safer then.
