Why do you lack reflog on your remote-tracking branches in the first
place?
The fork-point heuristics, as far as I understand it, was invented
exactly to protect you from your upstream repository rewinding and
rebuilding the branch you have been building on top of. The default
fetch refspec +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* has the "force"
option "+" in front exactly because the fetching repository is
expected to keep the reflog for remote-tracking branches to help
recovering from such a rewind & rebuild.
Puzzled.
