After giving a recipe that is better than an alternative, what's
the point of describing an inferior alternative as "equivalent",
when it is obviously not "equivalent"?

The resulting maint tree is equivalent to deleting maint and
recreating it from the tip of master, but merging from master
preserves the maint reflog.
