Thanks; you seem to have handled the issues I pointed out in response to my own weatherbaloon patch. I think it is probably better to squash the first two (and you take the authorship).

This drops support for older reflog records, but I think it would be Ok. This "N-th" support is really meant to be for small number of N anyway.

Hmm, did I have an off-by-one I did not notice? ;-)

The removal of "limit to reasonably small recent N" I somewhat have reservations on, but I think we can later re-add something based on configuration variable if we need to.
