Package: git
Version: 1:1.7.8.3-1
Severity: normal

Hello all,

When deleting a ref, the whole reflog for this ref is also deleted,
disallowing users to track for a branch deletion/re-creation.
(Very useful on a shared repository, for example)

Instead, I suggest that reflogs are never removed, but simply updated
with a "**deleted**" message.
Alongside, git reflog should get a "prune" subcommand which will allow
the user to remove stale logs after ref deletions.

Best regards,
Hugues Hiegel
