Yea, I already have reflogs enabled for all stored branches on the central server. And since some branches have a no-delete policy (based upon the rules offered by contrib/hooks/update-paranoid) the reflogs are also effectively no-delete, even if the branch rewinds. I also never run `git reflog expire`. I might in another year or so consider it, but most of my no-delete branches also don't rewind very often (if ever) so there's very little disk to be gained by reflog expiry. -- Shawn.
