From: Cornelius Weig <[email protected]>

The commands git-branch and git-tag accept a `--create-reflog` argument.
On the other hand, the negated form `--no-create-reflog` is accepted as
a valid option but has no effect. This silent noop may puzzle users.

To communicate that this behavior is intentional, add a short note in
the manuals for git-branch and git-tag.

Notes:
    In a previous discussion (<[email protected]>) it
    was found that git-branch and git-tag accept a "--no-create-reflog" 
argument,
    but it has no effect, does not produce a warning, and is undocumented.
