Item with empty message in git reflog

I've just noticed item in my reflog with empty message. Do you have any idea what could create empty item in log, please?

Solution

  • I have manually created such items by mistake, by running git update-ref with some inappropriate parameters. I have not seen it created by other Git commands.

    These "empty" entries are harmless, so you can just ignore them.
