That changes what the command does to existing repositories,
which is somewhat impolite.

Yes, but users are forgetting to enable them.  They will work in
a new repository having that feature, move to an older one and not
have it, but expect it to be there.

I concur entirely.

I am not opposed too much to an updated version of the tool that
sets the configuration on by default for newly created
repositories, though.

I almost did that in my patch - but decided against it for the
reason I just noted above.

Does anyone on the mailing list really have an objection to having
reflogs on by default?

I certainly don't.
