No. The reflog is not the history, except your very local log of what
the heads pointed to. You do not see the reflog unless you ask for it,
and nobody else can see it (i.e. *your* reflog).

What looks like duplicate entries may commit that have been cherry
picked into one or more branches that have been merged thereafter. If
you look carefully they have different id's.
