Do you mean

	$ git checkout -b testing
        $ rm -f .git/logs/refs/heads/testing
        $ git log -g testing

will be changed from a silent no-op to an abort with error?

I do not see a need for such a change--does that count as an
objection?

No, I'd like to change:

$ ls .git/logs/refs/tags/v2.7.0
ls: cannot access .git/logs/refs/tags/v2.7.0: No such file or
directory
$ git (log -g|reflog) v2.7.0
From the bizarre behaviour above to a silent noop.

When there is nothing to show, we do not show anything, 

As I demonstrated in the text that you cut: that is not true.
git log -g v2.7.0 and git reflog v2.7.0 are *not* silent, but buggy. I
would like to make them silent.

and that is just like "git log v2.7.0..v2.7.0" is silent.

I do not find the silence bizarre at all.

I'll take that as an agreement then :)
