Are you sure about this? When log_all_ref_updates is not set, by default we do not log for bare repositories, but other than that, we do not do anything special with respect to reflogs.

	$ (cd .. && git clone --no-local --mirror git.git victim)
        $ git checkout next
        $ EDITOR=: git commit --amend
        $ cd ../victim
	$ git config core.logallrefupdates true
	$ git fetch
        $ find logs
	logs
        logs/HEAD
        logs/refs
        logs/refs/heads
        logs/refs/heads/next

It seems to record how a branch at its origin was updated just fine, at least to me.
