First, maybe git could create refs for these automatically, perhaps
with a name like orphans/1? Maybe these refs would only be visible
via git branch --orphans.
Instead of spelling them orphans/$n, you already have @{$n}.
Hmm, shouldn't that be "HEAD@{$n}" (as the reflog output suggests)?
[Well, I dunno, I'm generally kind of confused by the @{...} notation,
but I just tried it out, and just @{$n} seems to refer to the current
branch, which presumably won't include the orphaned bit once one it's
been orphaned...]
Thanks,
