First-Class View for Reflog

[pvanb]

Problem description

git reflog provides valuable information about the repository's history and provides an important means to recover from mistakes or see how the repository got to its current state. It would be of great benefit to have this information presented in a manner that clearly identifies checkouts, vs merges, vs pulls, etc. and provides the ability to act on them or to drill into details.

Preferred solution

Executing the command (either via command palette or a direct link in the sidebar at the level of BRANCHES, REMOTES, etc) would list the reflog history similar to how commits are listed when selecting a branch. Selecting an entry in the reflog would show the changeset details in the right-most pane. Context menus on the reflog entries would show any commands that are appropriate and available.

Alternatives

It is currently possible to add a custom command to the palette whose output is visible by clicking the icon in the left of the info bar. This output is plaintext which makes it more difficult to parse visually and is not interactive at all.

Screenshots

Here is an example of how this feature is presented in Tower:

Would be good to have support for reflog at least in the console
Current output is an error:

Executing: "C:\Program Files\Sublime Merge\Git\cmd\git.exe" reflog show
Working dir: C:\projects\some-service
glGetError: GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION_EXT

Up.

Bumping this issue as it's really awesome to have implemented!
