I'd still understand "zurücksetzen" as "set something *back* to" but this "back" can also be something that was made after HEAD perhaps on another branch and HEAD (or the current ref) was never at this point before, so "zurücksetzen" is not true in this case.

I prefer "umsetzen" to "neu setzen", too. I'll change the glossary to this.
