This means that 'git log -g --date=normal' shows the date, whereas 'git 
log -g --date=default' shows the reflog entry number.

I find this highly unintuitive, sorry.  I'd prefer it if it showed the 
date whenever I specify a date format.

So you'd rather have a toggle --[no-]reflog-date?  Which would make a
lot of sense, but probably not be backwards compatible in the sense
that log.date suddenly stops affecting the reflog date display.

And I'd prefer not to have a distinction between "default" and
"normal".

I actually had to change that because I wanted to allow the user to
override the log.date config.  Saying --date=unspecified doesn't make
a lot of sense :-)
