Sounds like the issue is deeper than I first realized > and this probably isn't worth the effort it'd take. Actually local commits don't need to be involved at all. Incremental import is enough. One good reason to use reflog is when you notice something does not work and recall, that it worked yesterday evening. Than you need to know what you were looking at at that time, not at what was latest, because you didn't necessarily have to be up-to-date. -- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec
