True, except if you did:

My real point was that I was wondering if it also makes sense
for ref-log to record switching branches for the symref itself.

But after sending that message I thought about it a bit more and
concluded that it is not an interesting information.  It is more
code that affects unrelated places even if we were to implement
it and without real gain, so let's not log symref itself and
keep the current implementation.

I agree completely.

I have no interest in a history of what branches I've recently
been on.  All I care about is the history of this branch.  And I
consider HEAD to be nothing but a shortcut that always points to
the current branch... so its darn useful for that.

In retrospect CURR may have been a better name for the HEAD symref
but its far too late to even consider changing that, so lets not
go down that road.  :-)
