Heya,

On that note, the usefulness of such a feature is dependant on the
support we have for actually restoring an entry from this new reflog.
The current reflog is so amazingly useful because git has
awesome-cherry-pick-and-the-like-commit-handling powers that make it
easy to restore the otherwise lost state. But as far as I know,
there's no nice 'n easy support for restoring state to the information
contained in this new reflog, is there?
