The git commands StGit uses to perform operations automatically record
changes in branches in reflog. What StGit does not provide is the "reason".
You do use git-update-ref?

Yes, only for updating HEAD. The refs in refs/patches/<branch>/ are
written directly. I initialy wanted to add patch history support using
reflogs and added "git-update-ref -m ..." for the patch commits but I
found slow the pushing operation a bit. Do you only want to track the
reflogs for HEAD?

Yes, I want for StGit to provide reasons when updating HEAD. I know that
StGit manages it's own versioning of patches not using reflog -- fine.
What matters for me is reflog for HEAD after "stg commit; stg clean".
