Assuming this is the reflog, this is not true. Because the working copy doesn't get snapshotted, it is relatively easy to lose uncommitted data. I've spent much of my professional career working on source control and even I've lost uncommitted data a few times.

Dropbox doesn't have a notion of uncommitted data. Why should source control?

I have to use reflog, rebase -i and frequent commits to cover the spectrum of edge cases I deal with weekly. No two of them accomplish the entire job.
You should try out Jujutsu :)
It's on my list.
