By default 'git reflog show' will show the reflog of 'HEAD' and not
the reflog of the current branch. This is most likely due to the
work done a while ago as part of the detached HEAD series to allow
HEAD to have its own reflog independent of each branch's reflog.

Since 'git reflog show' is really just an obscure alias for 'git
log -g --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline' it should behave the same
way and its documentation should match.
