First of all: I've been out of the loop last week, so please forgive me if this comes at the wrong phase of a cycle.

I portioned the changes to git-reset.txt and ordered them starting from the least controversial, I hope. The descriptions of modes have grown organically over time, and this series tries to make them consistent in structure and wording, after cleaning up some minor issues. 6/6 is the "meat", so to say.

For the "--merge" description in 6/6: Please double check. I've tried to understand the mode from the tables and from the inner works (git read-tre -u -m plus carrying over unmerged entries) because I did not understand the original description.

Michael J Gruber (6):
  git-reset.txt: clarify branch vs. branch head
  git-reset.txt: reset does not change files in target
  git-reset.txt: reset --soft is not a no-op
  git-reset.txt: use "working tree" consistently
  git-reset.txt: point to git-checkout
  git-reset.txt: make modes description more consistent
