From: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

Store reflogs for dead references among those for live references, in a scheme that could in the future be extended to prevent file/directory conflicts for live reference names, as well. Store the reflog for a dead reference "refs/foo/bar/baz" in file "$GIT_DIR/logs/refs~d/heads~d/foo~d/bar~d/baz~f", where the suffix "~d" is appended to "directory" names and "~f" is append to "file" names.
