[PATCH v3 6/7] git-reflog: add create and exists functions

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date

These are necessary because alternate ref backends might store reflogs somewhere other than .git/logs. Code that now directly manipulates .git/logs should instead go through git-reflog.

In a moment, we will use these functions to make git stash work with alternate ref backends.
