Reflog is a mechanism to record when the tip of branches are

+`expire-unreachable` time and not reachable from the current
tip, are removed from the reflog. This is typically not used
directly by the end users -- instead, see linkgit:git-gc[1].
The reflog is useful in various git commands, to specify the old value
of a reference. For example, `HEAD@\{2\}` means "where HEAD used to be
two moves ago", `master@\{one.week.ago\}` means "where master used to
-point to one week ago", and so on. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1] for
+point to one week ago", and so on. See linkgit:gitrevisions[1] for
more details.
To delete single entries from the reflog, use the subcommand "delete"
refs.
