[PATCH v2 0/2] refs: allow @{n} to work with n-sized reflog

[Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com>]

When there is only one reflog entry (perhaps caused by expiring the
reflog and then making a single commit) @{1} errors out even though
there is technically enough information to do the lookup. Look at the
old side of the reflog instead of the new side so that this does not
fail. This is explained in more detail in the commit of the last patch.

This idea was given by Junio at [0].

Changes since v1:

* Factor out set_read_ref_cutoffs()

* Check the output of rev-parse to ensure that the intended commit is
  returned
