Hi,
I propose adding a hook that is run after git reset.

My personal use case for that is that I am indexing my checkouts using global (a tool similar to ctags, cscope, ...) and I really like that index to be up2date all the time. I can catch most cases where the work tree changes from git via the post-checkout, post-merge, post-rewrite hooks. The only frequent case I don't know how to trigger a reindex is git reset --hard. Another related usecases I can imagine is people wanting to check that there is nothing important/irrecoverable in the current checkout before resetting it, but that would obviously be a pre-reset hook.

Any opinions about the feature before I start writing a patch?
Greetings,
Andres Freund
