git reflog show
It makes "git reflog [show]" act as git log -g --pretty=oneline --abbrev-cmit and is fairly straightforward. So you can just write git reflog or git reflog show and it will show you the reflog in a nice format.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
+The command takes various subcommands, and different options
+depending on the subcommand:
+
+[verse]
+git reflog expire [--dry-run] [--stale-fix]
+ [--expire=<time>] [--expire-unreachable=<time>] [--all] <refs>...
+
+git reflog [show] [log-options]
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].
