Re: [RFC 0/3] Reflogs for deleted refs: fix breakage and suggest namespace change

2. I think that allowing both "next" and "next/foo" complicates
the mapping from branch names to file paths, and it does not seem
necessary if dead reflogs are moved away to "graveyard" anyway.

It is unclear why the first two lines above leads to the conclusion
"it does not seem necessary" (but honestly, I do not particularly
care).

3. There remains the question what to do with dead reflogs for
different branches having the same name.  Maybe, keep the death
date and time under the graveyard directory and not allow the user
to delete 2 times in less than 1 second?

/logs/graveyard/yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss/refs/heads/next/foo

How would that help us in what way?

When I ask "git log -g next/foo" for the "next/foo" branch that
currently exists, I want to see the update history of its tip since
I created it for the last time, and then an entry that says I
created it at such and such time.  If I used to have the branch
before but deleted, then the output should be followed by another
entry that says I deleted it at such and such time, followed by the
history of the tip updates.
