The third column in command-list.txt determines what group a common
command is printed in 'git help'.
"git reset" is currently in the "work on the current change (see also:
git help everyday)" group. While it's true that "git reset" can
manipulate the index and can be in this group, its unique
functionality is resetting HEAD, which should be the "grow, mark,
tweak history" group.
Moving it there will also avoid the confusion because both 'restore'
and 'reset' are in the same group, next to each other.
While looking at the 'group, mark, tweak history', I realize "git
diff" should not be there. All the commands in this group is about
_changing_ the commit history while "git diff" is a read-only
operation. It fits better in the "examine the history and state" group
(especially when "git status", its close friend, is already there).
This is what we have after the reorganization:
work on the current change (see also: git help everyday)
add Add file contents to the index
mv Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
restore Restore working tree files
rm Remove files from the working tree and from the index
examine the history and state (see also: git help revisions)
bisect Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug
diff Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
grep Print lines matching a pattern
log Show commit logs
show Show various types of objects
status Show the working tree status
grow, mark and tweak your common history
branch List, create, or delete branches
commit Record changes to the repository
merge Join two or more development histories together
rebase Reapply commits on top of another base tip
reset Reset current HEAD to the specified state
switch Switch branches
tag Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG
