We have the create event (oldd=0000...), if we just don't delete the log and add
a destroy event (newid=000000).
A bit trickier with the current reflog design is the case where you
delete branch foo and then create the branch foo/bar. One way would be
to append a "." to the leaf in the refs directory tree. Older readers
wouldn't understand that to there's a compatibility issue.
