SYNOPSIS
--------
-[verse]
-'git-reflog' expire [--dry-run] [--stale-fix]
- [--expire=<time>] [--expire-unreachable=<time>] [--all] <refs>...
-
+'git reflog' <subcommand> <options>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
+The command takes various subcommands, and different options
+depending on the subcommand:
+
+[verse]
+git reflog expire [--dry-run] [--stale-fix]
+ [--expire=<time>] [--expire-unreachable=<time>] [--all] <refs>...
+
+git reflog [show] [log-options]
Reflog is a mechanism to record when the tip of branches are
updated. This command is to manage the information recorded in it.
tip, are removed from the reflog. This is typically not used
directly by the end users -- instead, see gitlink:git-gc[1].
+The subcommand "show" (which is also the default, in the absence of any
+subcommands) will take all the normal log options, and show the log of
+`HEAD`, which will cover all recent actions, including branch switches.
+It is basically an alias for 'git log -g --abbrev-commit
+--pretty=oneline', see gitlink:git-log[1].
OPTIONS
-------
+--stale-fix::
+ This revamps the logic -- the definition of "broken commit"
+ becomes: a commit that is not reachable from any of the refs and
+ there is a missing object among the commit, tree, or blob
+ objects reachable from it that is not reachable from any of the
+ refs.
++
+This computation involves traversing all the reachable objects, i.e. it
+has the same cost as 'git prune'. Fortunately, once this is run, we
+should not have to ever worry about missing objects, because the current
+prune and pack-objects know about reflogs and protect objects referred by
+them.
+
--expire=<time>::
Entries older than this time are pruned. Without the
option it is taken from configuration `gc.reflogExpire`,
