From: Cornelius Weig <cornelius.weig@tngtech.com>
The commands git-branch and git-tag accept a `--create-reflog` argument. On the other hand, the negated form `--no-create-reflog` is accepted as a valid option but has no effect. This silent noop may puzzle users.
To communicate that this behavior is intentional, add a short note in the manuals for git-branch and git-tag.

Notes:
In a previous discussion (<xmqqbmunrwbf.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>) it
was found that git-branch and git-tag accept a "--no-create-reflog" argument,
but it has no effect, does not produce a warning, and is undocumented.Documentation/git-branch.txt | 1 + Documentation/git-tag.txt | 1 + 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+)
