Probably because it is listed as such in command-list.txt.  I guess
the user-facing command for reflog expiration is meant to be "git gc"?

People really do seem to use these commands directly, so I'm all for
this.

I wish there were a way to easily point the end user from "git reflog
show" to "git log --walk-reflogs" (to make the list of other accepted
options more obvious) but I can't think of one.
