Yea, I'm leaning more towards the foo..deleted-n idea too, for the
same reasons.  It also makes it easier to GC a deleted branch's
reflog, we can examine the last record's timestamp in a reasonable
time bound and unlink the log if its really freaking old.

Do we need to actually do that? Shouldn't the entries in the reflog get
expired as part of the regular reflog gc? In that case, we would just
delete the file when it had zero entries.
