The changes need to not unnecessarily break scripts or let down people's
expectations.  I'd be happy to deprecate the use of reset with file
arguments, to keep 'reset' focused on resetting the current HEAD and not
concerned with files; but changing its behaviour on a subtle level like
this is sure to annoy...
