In another question, a user posted the following reflog:
8c48bab HEAD@{16}: checkout: moving from develop to 8c48babb10ec2f8f28f364ce57b5095cb080c133^0
54d8daf HEAD@{17}: commit: changed the how function, it seems I was right, wc counts all lines regardless of readable symbols or not.
13d35ed HEAD@{18}: commit: am working on the how function (should be trivial, but I have a bad feeling)
852fb68 HEAD@{19}: commit: I have added some more commands (thought not fully implemented), but more specifically I have changed the pattern matching
33dfc9f HEAD@{20}: commit (merge): change some output settings, asthetics and such. I am working on getting more command options for list previous lin
a248465 HEAD@{21}: commit (amend): added another sanity check for cli parameters
f0ca508 HEAD@{22}: commit (amend): added another sanity check for cli parameters
9e24e91 HEAD@{23}: commit: added another sanity check for cli parameters
0194cab HEAD@{24}: commit: I am working on getting the console improved, this including better color, and more cammand options
8c48bab HEAD@{25}: checkout: moving from master to testing
In HEAD@{25}, the user switches to the testing branch. However, in HEAD@{16}, the user moves from develop to a commit without a prior move from testing to develop.
How is it possible to change branches without it being reflected in reflog? I don't believe this user is particularly sophisticated, so I doubt any esoteric tricks were used.
It seems that the user just checked out a particular commit (using the sha1) and then create the branch.
Sorry I misread the question. The user might have renamed the branch testing to develop.
