On that note, the usefulness of such a feature is dependant on the support we have for actually restoring an entry from this new reflog. The current reflog is so amazingly useful because git has awesome-cherry-pick-and-the-like-commit-handling powers that make it easy to restore the otherwise lost state. But as far as I know, there's no nice 'n easy support for restoring state to the information contained in this new reflog, is there?
