That was just the first idea ;)

The "normal" reflog cannot be used if you just create and then delete a
branch - the reflog is empty in this case. A special "deleted" entry
pointing to the SHA1 of the branch is needed. Also the question is how
to handle the case that a user creates and deletes a new branch with the
same name.
All in all, I (and lots of other users) would be happy if this issue
could be addressed in one of the next releases. :)
