Here is a patch series to address that. I think I have smoothed out most
of the rough edges, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some other
corner cases. One that I notice is that "git log -g" will stop walking
when it hits a null sha1 in the reflog.

  [1/3]: retain reflogs for deleted refs
  [2/3]: teach sha1_name to look in graveyard reflogs
  [3/3]: add tests for reflogs of deleted refs
