You will lose the record from HEAD reflog that records the fact that you
were at the tip of "next" less than "reflogexpire" but more than
"reflogexpireunreachable" time ago, if you run "gc" while on "master".

Such a pruning does not have much to do with the real reason why
expireunreachable would be a useful thing (namely, to prune failed
histories that have been rewound away faster than the history that
survived from reflog of individual branches).
