I do not know about any particular debate in git circles, but I assume Sitaram is referring to this incident: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/jenkinsci-dev/-myjRIPcVwU/t4nkXONp8qgJ in which a Jenkins dev force-pushed and rewound history on 150 different repos. In this case the reflog made rollback easy, but if he had pushed a deletion, it would be harder. -Peff
