It would be the same inconsistency as we currently have between "checkout <commit> -- <pathspec>" and "checkout <commit> --": one updates the HEAD (or rather, for "reset", the current branch), while the other doesn’t. So my preference is to make "reset --foo" not take a pathspec, but it is not a strong one. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
