refs/files: add a comment about refs_reflog_exists() call
Add a comment about why it is that we need to check for the the
existence of a reflog we're deleting after we've successfully acquired
the lock in files_reflog_expire(). As noted in [1] the lock protocol
for reflogs is somewhat intuitive.
This early exit code the comment applies to dates all the way back to
4264dc15e19 (git reflog expire, 2006-12-19).
