I personally expected @{1} to be identical to HEAD@{1}.  Since omitting a

the reflogs mean the HEAD log?  The definition of @{1} is useful since 
there's no other easy way to get "current branch's reflog", but I think 
it's non-obvious.  (Since HEAD@{1} is something completely different, I 
think the only other way to refer to @{1} is $(git symbolic-ref)@{1}.)

FYI, there was much discussion about this exact point:

(I don't know that it has that much bearing on the current discussion,
but since I went to the trouble of digging it up, I thought you might
find it useful).
