Re: RFH: unexpected reflog behavior with --since=

Jeff King [off-list ref] writes:

The only point would be to leave "--since" to act on the commit
timestamps, so that you don't have to resort to the external grepping I
mentioned above. However, I'm not convinced anybody even cares about
that use case.

I think the behavior you want is much more sensible.

I think there's already confusion in this area, e.g., with @{...} using
reflog dates, but "git log --since" using commit dates.  This can be an
easy trap to fall into because _often_ the two have similar granularity
(when you're mostly pushing changes), but not _always_ (when you pull a
big batch of changes).

Soooo, being really really explicit about using reflog dates vs. commit
dates -- and e.g., having option names like "--since" _always_ refer to
commit dates -- would be a good thing, I think...
