[PATCH] git-reset.txt: Use commit~1 notation over commit^

From
jari.aalto@cante.net <jari.aalto@cante.net>
Date
Dec 1, 2010, 18:14 UTC
Message-ID
<1291227258-17922-1-git-send-email-jari.aalto@cante.net>
From: Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>

In order to easily read paragraphs, use same notation and do not mixed both ^ and ~N. This helps digesting the information more easier as the tokens stay the same (dcumentation uniformity).
