 Reflog is a mechanism to record when the tip of branches are
 updated.  This command is to manage the information recorded in it.
@@ -25,6 +30,10 @@ Entries older than `expire` time, or entries older than
 tip, are removed from the reflog.  This is typically not used
 directly by the end users -- instead, see gitlink:git-gc[1].
 
+The subcommand "show" (which is also the default, in the absense of any
+subcommands) will take all the normal log options, and show the log of
+the current branch. It is basically an alias for 'git log -g --abbrev-commit
+--pretty=oneline', see gitlink:git-log[1].
