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.
