in git, what ways are there to "lose" a commit in a way that you CAN'T recover using the reflog (so that you need to iterate over every single commit in the repository if you want to find it?
The only ways I know are:
* using `git stash drop` or `git stash pop` to drop a stashed commit
* waiting 90+ days to try to recover the commit (so that it expires from the reflog)
