Ah, that one.
As 2b81fab2 (git-reflog: add option --rewrite to update reflog
entries while expiring, 2008-02-22) says, the redundant half of the
reflog entry only matters to "certain sanity checks" and would not
be even visible to normal ref API users. I wonder why we need to
even say "--rewrite" in the first place. Perhaps we should
implicitly set it always and eventually deprecate that option.
