I have to wonder (not objecting to, just wondering about) if it is a
good assumption that the current branch must be where we should have
seen the tip of the other side we are about to lose.  I ask because
when I do a large rewrite I often am on a detached HEAD most of the
time, and after everything looks sensible in the rewritten result,
I "checkout -B" the local branch.

We could reduce the rate of false positive ("no you've not looked at
what you are about to discard, so we won't let you force") by
checking reflogs of all the local branches and HEAD, but that may be
too much.  I wonder if checking reflog entries only for HEAD (and
not any of the current local branches) would be a good compromise.
