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...

Surely you agree that my original example shows that the current behavior
is confusing, yes?

So you're advocating --reflog-since (or some such)?
Or to disable the early --since early exit when walking the reflog?
Or for something else?
