I had no idea, but then again, the man pages don't mention whether something is plumbing or porcelain anywhere... But I guess 'git log -g' is easier to use (since it supplies the user with most of git log's features) than git reflog. I was introduced to reflog by someone advising me to use it, so I was merely "passing on" that advice, unknowing of 'git log -g' :).
