"git reflog" gives you the reflog of HEAD in numbered format
(HEAD@{1}, HEAD@{2}, etc.), and "git reflog HEAD@{now}" is an
interesting way to tell it "I want that same HEAD reflog but not in
numbered but in timed format).

"git reflog @{0}" and "git reflog @{now}" give you the reflog of the
current branch in these formats.
