I think that _both_ sentences are right. Reflog records history of where the tip of each branch was at each moment, logging also what command was used to move tip of branch (was it commit, amending commit, rebase, reset, or creating branch anew, git-am or pull). But where tip of each branch was is purely local matter. What is global is DAG of commits, refs are always as seen by one particular repository. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
