Hello,

I use git new-workdir for some of my projects. Apart from the usual
caveat "don't checkout the same branch twice", I found another small
issue, surely known: the reflog for HEAD in the workidirs does not exis=
t
in the source git repo, hence git-gc will happily prune what it believe=
s
to be dangling commits.

Would it be, perhaps, be okay to create a logs/workdir/<name>/HEAD
symlink pointing to $workdir/logs/HEAD, so that this does not happen?

Comments welcome.
