```
The description of option "create-reflog" is "create_reflog", which
is neither a good description, nor a sensible string to translate.
Change it to a more meaningful message.

This definitely is an improvement.  I will assume i18n team is OK
with a change like this this late in the cycle (I see you CC'ed
Jiang) and will merge before the next -rc.

Thanks.

Agree. Those who have already finished this round of l10n
(including sv (Swedish) and vi (Vietnamese)) should update
their translations for this update.
