```
    $ git reset --mixed t/Makefile
    warning: --mixed option is deprecated with paths.
    Unstaged changes after reset:
    M       t/Makefile

So what should I use instead? 0e5a7faa which introduced it doesn't say.

```

It doesn't currently exist, but I'm pretty sure it should be called 'git 
unstage' :)

Then perhaps it should be undeprecated? If what you say is correct
it's been whining about that since 2007 with no alternative, while
doing what I mean when I run it.

Sorry, I misremembered '--mixed' again, '--mixed' is the default and it 
doesn't complain if you just omit it, and if I read&tried right, 'git 
reset <file>' does the same as 'git reset --mixed <file>'.

You should say nothing.  "git reset [<commit>] <path>" is about resetting
the index entry selectively, and there is no room for any mode to be
involved (iow "git reset --soft t/Makefile" does not make any sense),
hence deprecation.
