Apologies for the tangent, but this is not true in the most recent
Gerrit implementation. We update refs/changes/CD/ABCD/1 and
refs/changes/CD/ABCD/meta in a single BatchRefUpdate, and we set a
reflog message on the BatchRefUpdate instance, which updates the
reflog for all refs in the batch. The reflog message on /meta is
important, and arguably it's useful to be able to correlate that with
the reflog on /1.

If you think storing reflogs on patch set refs is going to be a
problem wrt on-disk storage, we should discuss this offline :)
