Re: Deleting remote branches with git-branch and reflog questions

Yes, so what. It's not a big deal, and it's too late to change, isn't it?

Seriously, I think with addition of 'git log --walk-reflogs' and 'git show-branch --reflog', there is less reason for an end user to look at the raw .git/logs/ directory these days. They might not fully expose the information recorded in reflog yet, but I think what they do show is useful and adequate. If some useful information is lacking from their output, we should solve that by enhancing them, not by moving .git/logs/refs up one level to save the end user five keystrokes to allow him to run less head or tail on ".git/logs/heads/master".

And we might want to allow reflogs on detached HEAD someday, although I personally think it goes against what detached HEAD is -- it is of a very temporary nature.
