Looks good overall to me. Thanks for following up.

I wouldn't mind the churn if you wanted to do it on top, but it's
definitely not necessary. There's nothing in 'pu' right now that touches
the file.

Yeah, they're quite long. Probably something like:

  # arguments: <from> <to> <time> <msg>
  reflog () {
	printf '%s %s %s <%s> %s +0000\t%s' \
		"$1" "$2" \
		"$GIT_COMMITTER_NAME" "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" \
		"$3" "$4"
  }

  test_expect_success 'verify $m log' '
	{
		reflog $Z $A 1117150200 "Initial Creation" &&
		reflog $A $B 1117150260 "Switch" &&
		reflog $B $A 1117150860 &&
	} >expect &&
	test_cmp expect .git/logs/$m
  '

wouldn't be too bad. Or maybe it's worse, because the actual format is
all tangled up in that printf statement. ;)

I'm OK with it either way.
