By the way I don't like the option names --hard, --mixed and --soft. They do not remind me what they actually do. Every time I need to do non-default operation, I have to open man page.

I've been thinking of --ref, --index and --worktree as a more friendly version, which can be combined and converted to --soft, --mixed and --hard internally. Invalid combinations will be rejected. That thinking went well until I found out there were --merge and --keep, and was stuck.
