[PATCH v3 06/14] reset_head(): remove action parameter

From
PGPhillip Wood via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jan 26, 2022, 13:05 UTC
Message-ID
<ff23498e93eab5cc1d9f040aedb45c54025d0b62.1643202349.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1049.v3.git.1643202349.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

The only use of the action parameter is to setup the error messages for unpack_trees(). All but two cases pass either "checkout" or "reset". The case that passes "reset --hard" would be better passing "reset" so that the error messages match the builtin reset command like all the other callers that are doing a reset. The case that passes "Fast-forwarded" is only updating HEAD and so the parameter is unused in that case as it does not call unpack_trees(). The value to pass to setup_unpack_trees_porcelain() can be determined by checking whether flags contains RESET_HEAD_HARD without the caller having to specify it.
