Do we really want to keep the user manual compatible with 1.5.3
forever? It's nice to keep the user manual usable by slightly outdated
Gits, but 1.5.3 starts being really old, and older docs are still
available on the web (like
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.5.3.8/git.html ).

git reset --merge appeared in Git 1.6.2, it sounds reasonable to say
the current user manual works from this version.

git reset --keep appeared in 1.7.1, hence far more recently. But I
think it can still be mentionned at least as an alternative to --hard.
