> git reflog (git usage or git cmdlog)

Oh my god, I just realized this is ref-log (a log of references), and not re-flog (I'm not even sure what "to flog" is). No wonder I've never really understood why it's called that, I simply realized that I can look up older references to everything there by using it. Thank you!

To flog is to beat with a whip, so it might be both.
Or, trying to sell; "He was flogging his wares".
