Karthik Nayak (2):
reflog: drop usage of global variables
reflog: implement subcommand to drop reflogs
This patch series adds a new 'drop' subcommand to git-reflog that allows
users to delete the reflog for a specified reference. Additionally, it
adds an '--all' flag to enable dropping all reflogs in a repository.
This is a followup to the discussion we had when I sent in a patch to
add '--no-reflog' option to 'git refs migrate' [1].
While 'git-reflog(1)' currently allows users to expire reflogs and
delete individual entries, it lacks functionality to completely remove
reflogs for specific references. This becomes problematic in
repositories where reflogs are not needed but continue to accumulate
entries despite setting 'core.logAllRefUpdates=false'.
The first patch is a small cleanup which ensures that 'builtin/reflog.c' no
longer uses global variables. The second patch add the required changes.
