A snippet from a typical git session may look like this:
$ git checkout @~3
...
$ git checkout -
The reflog entries corresponding to the two checkouts look like:
f855138: checkout: moving from bdff0e3a374617dce784f801b97500d9ba2e4705 to co-reflog
bdff0e3: checkout: moving from co-reflog to HEAD~3
There is no need to write the full SHA-1 to the user-visible reflog; use
find_unique_abbrev() to shorten the first line like:
f855138: checkout: moving from bdff0e3 to co-reflog
