From: Ori Avtalion Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 16:38:42 GMT Subject: reset: silent for some commands, verbose for others? Message-ID: <4E29A792.9020805@avtalion.name> Looking at the reset's command third form: reset [--soft | --mixed | --hard | --merge | --keep] [-q] [] * --soft, --merge, --keep are silent. * --mixed prints "Unstaged changes after reset: ..." * --hard prints "HAED is now at..." If all of those commands move HEAD, shouldn't all of them print "HEAD is now at..."? Why should only --mixed print the list of unstaged files? e.g. Isn't it useful for --soft to give a list of "Staged changes"?
