Shawn O. Pearce 566842f62b Fix lost-found to show commits only referenced by reflogs
Prior to 1.5.0 the git-lost-found utility was useful to locate
commits that were not referenced by any ref.  These were often
amends, or resets, or tips of branches that had been deleted.
Being able to locate a 'lost' commit and recover it by creating a
new branch was a useful feature in those days.

Unfortunately 1.5.0 added the reflogs to the reachability analysis
performed by git-fsck, which means that most commits users would
consider to be lost are still reachable through a reflog.  So most
(or all!) commits are reachable, and nothing gets output from
git-lost-found.

Now git-fsck can be told to ignore reflogs during its reachability
analysis, making git-lost-found useful again to locate commits
that are no longer referenced by a ref itself, but may still be
referenced by a reflog.
