Hmph. Among 5 or so callsites of reset_head(), only these two
places need it, so reset_head() is clearly not a substitute for
"reset --hard HEAD", and it sometimes used to switch branches or
something? Perhaps we may need to rename it to avoid confusion but
it can wait until we actually decide to make it externally
available. Until then, it's OK as-is, I would think.
