I understand it that objects which are not reachable form the tip of
current branches are subject for garbage-collecting in 30 days. For
example, let's say we are in "master" branch and do "git reset --hard
master~1". It makes the previous HEAD commit unreachable from "master"
branch and it can be GCd in 30 days (?).
My understanding can be wrong, of course. The manual explainst options
like gc.reflogExpire and gc.reflogExpireUnreachable separately but does
not draw the big picture how things work.
