[PATCH] Documentation/git-reset.txt: Use HEAD~N syntax everywhere (unify examples)

From
Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
Date

Message-ID
<3asc6spe.fsf@blue.sea.net>

The examples in the documentation refer to multiple ~N commits. To Keep the exampels unified with the same syntax, use ~N in all examples.
