I'm confused. rows[0][1] == "0f3a981cbd5be5f97e9504ab770cd88f988fe820" rows[1][0] == "0f3a981cbd5be5f97e9504ab770cd88f988fe820" they are the same. I don't understand your argument.Sorry, I mean same = ff update, not the same = non-ff. So I flipped those around in describing it.
I am confused too. Are you tacking something else, a gap in a run of reflog entries? If I go from commit A to B to C, the first log entry would record the transtion from A->B, and the second entry would record the transition from B->C, and the lack of gap does not say anything about the relationship between A and B, or B and C. A can be, and does not have to be, an ancestor of B, and B can be, and does not have to be, an ancestor of C. Hopping from A to B to C would leave the same pair of reflog records and I do not think you can tell the reachability among A and B and C from them.
