If the user wants to do "git reset" during a merge, the user most likely wants to do a "git reset --merge". This is especially true during a merge conflict and the user had local changes, because "git reset" would leave the merged changes mixed in with the local changes. This makes "git reset" a little more user-friendly during a merge.
