Using the principle of minimum suprise the --mixed should be removed.
--soft - undo the commit leaving all changes.
--hard - undo the commit and removing all changes

I'm a cogito user so not used to got options.
But --soft, --hard looks rather confusing to me.

Something like --force or --prune may be a bit more intuitive, and let
default behaviour be the one you name --soft for now.

I think it would make sense to be able to specify the topmost SHA1 (or 
HEAD:5 or HEAD^^^^^) from where the reset should start.
