fix reflog entries for "git-branch"
Even when -l is not given from the command line, the repository may have the configuration variable core.logallrefupdates set, or an old-timer might have done ": >.git/logs/refs/heads/new" before running "git branch new". In these cases, the code gave an uninitialized msg[] from the stack to be written out as the reflog message. This also passes a different message when '-f' option is used. Saying "git branch -f branch some-commit" is a moral equilvalent of doing "git-reset some-commit" while on the branch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
