[PATCH v6 6/7] git-reflog: add create and exists functions

[David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>]

These are necessary because alternate ref backends might store reflogs
somewhere other than .git/logs.  Code that now directly manipulates
.git/logs should instead go through git-reflog.

In a moment, we will use these functions to make git stash work with
alternate ref backends.

+The "create" subcommand creates a reflog for one or more refs. Most
+refs (those under refs/heads, refs/remotes, and refs/tags) will
+automatically have reflogs created. Other refs will not. This command
+allows manual ref creation.
+
+The "exists" subcommand checks whether a ref has a reflog.  It exists

+not.
