The reflog-walking mechanism is based on the regular revision traversal. We just rewrite the parents of each commit in fake_reflog_parent to point to the commit in the next reflog entry instead of the real parents. However, the regular revision traversal tries not to show the same commit twice, and so sets the SHOWN flag on each commit it shows. In a reflog, however, we may want to see the same commit more than once if it appears in the reflog multiple times (which easily happens, for example, if you do a reset to a prior state). The fake_reflog_parent function takes care of this by clearing flags, including SHOWN. Unfortunately, it does so at the very end of the function, and it is possible to return early from the function if there is no fake parent to set up (e.g., because we are at the very first reflog entry on the branch). In such a case the flag is not cleared, and the entry is skipped by the revision traversal machinery as already shown. You can see this by walking the log of a ref which is set to its very first commit more than once (the test below shows such a situation). In this case the reflog walk will fail to show the entry for the initial creation of the ref. We don't want to simply move the flag-clearing to the top of the function; we want to make sure flags set during the fake-parent installation are also cleared. Instead, let's hoist the flag-clearing out of the fake_reflog_parent function entirely. It's not really about fake parents anyway, and the only caller is the get_revision machinery.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
