Perhaps.

I gather there's a movement in recent git versions (sorry, I only
tuned in recently) to encourage people to use git-gc instead of
git-prune in almost all cases.  The reasons I ever looked at git-prune
at all was that git-gc mentioned it in "See Also", and because
"git-prune" sounded more obviously like what I wanted than "git-gc"
when I looked at "man git".

Adding git-gc *and* git-reflog as See Also entries in git-prune would
make sense to me.
