It might be worth noting/explaining very explicitly. "git reset" uin 
general does not ever try to make HEAD special - except as a _default_ 
location, of course, and as the thing that is actually modified.

I realize _why_ (HEAD is kind of the "base" for the index state), but I 
think it's worth a comment or something. I did a double-take when I saw 
that part of the diff exactly because it's unusual.
