Hmm, shouldn't that be "HEAD@{$n}" (as the reflog output suggests)?

[Well, I dunno, I'm generally kind of confused by the @{...} notation,
but I just tried it out, and just @{$n} seems to refer to the current
branch, which presumably won't include the orphaned bit once one it's
been orphaned...]

Thanks,
