Resetting with paths does not update HEAD and there is nothing else
that a commit should be needed for. Relax the argument parsing so only
a tree is required.
The sha1 is only passed to read_from_tree(), which already only
requires a tree.
The "rev" variable we pass to run_add_interactive() will resolve to a
tree. This is fine since interactive_reset only needs the parameter to
be a treeish and doesn't use it for display purposes.
---
Is it correct that interactive_reset does not use the revision
specifier for display purposes? Or, worse, that it requires it to be a
commit in some cases? I tried it and didn't see any problem.
Can the two blocks of code that look up commit or tree be made to
share more? I'm not very familiar with what functions are available. I
think I tried keeping a separate "struct object *object" to be able to
put the last three lines outside the blocks, but didn't like the
result.
