I've written it but it was so trivial I threw it away after writing the e-mail you are responding to with it.

As I said, I _think_ I was interested in seeing it primarily because reflog was a new curiosity to me. It is more like wanting to know how the new tool works more than using the new tool effectively to improve my productivity. In a "serious" environment, a tool is just something you would use to get the real job done, not to toy around to see how _it_ works, so I suspect the above would not be so useful in practice, as I wrote in the message.
