But it may also be a misfeature, because it's not clear what you're
actually trying to limit by. We have commit timestamps, of course, but
when we are walking reflogs, we also have reflog timestamps. Did you
actually want to say "show me all commits in the reflog, in reverse
reflog order, omitting commits that happened before time t"? Or did you
really mean "show me the reflog entries that happened before time t,
regardless of their commit timestamp"?

I meant "show me the reflog entries that happened *since* time t,
regardless of their commit timestamp.

Err, yeah, sorry. Somehow in the middle of writing the email I got
turned backwards about which direction we were interested in.

But I think you get the point.

Since -g is asking specifying for the reflog, and since the reflog has
its own timestamps, I would expect that those timestamps be used.

Then I think my one-liner patch should do what you want. And now it's
not just anecdotal evidence that I think it's the right behavior. There
are two of us; we're _data_.
