Subject: What does git reset do?
Message-ID: <ron1-A2A2DE.23475601022010@news.gmane.org>

The docs say that git-reset:

"Sets the current head to the specified commit..."

So I tried this:


[ron@mickey:~/devel/gittest]$ git branch
* br1
  master
[ron@mickey:~/devel/gittest]$ git reset --soft master


...expecting HEAD to now point to master.  But it doesn't:


[ron@mickey:~/devel/gittest]$ git branch
* br1
  master
[ron@mickey:~/devel/gittest]$ more .git/HEAD 
ref: refs/heads/br1


So... what does git reset do?

Thanks,
rg
