In 5f856dd (fix reflog entries for "git-branch"), it is mentioned that 'git branch -f' is intended to be equivalent to 'git reset'. Since we usually say "reset to <commit>" in the git-reset Documentation and elsewhere, it would make sense to say "Reset to" here as well, instead of "Reset from" previously.
