Hi

the man page of git-reset, synopsys, does not allow for an argumentless call, and the description does not tell either what is the meaning of it. Suggested changes:

first line of synopsis:
      gitt reset [-q] [<commit>] [ [--] <pathspec> ...]
Description: append to the end of the first paragraph:
     "If no <pathspecs> are specified, all the index entries are reset."

I would suggest to change <paths> with <pathspec> in all the man page because paths in the glossary are called pathspecs.
