Maybe  FETCH_HEAD should have a reflog too?

That might be nice. However, there is a complication, in that FETCH_HEAD
may contain many sha1s, but each reflog entry only has room for a single
sha1 transition. You could obviously encode it as a series of reflog
entries, but then "git show FETCH_HEAD@{1}" is not very meaningful.

What does "git show FETCH_HEAD" do now?  If it shows only one 
(presumably the first) SHA1 then its reflog doesn't have to be smarter, 
which would properly cover most cases already.  I certainly never did a 
multi-ref fetch myself.
