What you added in [PATCH 3/6] (git reset doc) sends a slightly
different message, i.e.
The <pathspec> is used to limit the paths affected by the operation
(see the entry for 'pathspec' in linkgit:gitglossary[7] for more details).
and I think that was more appropriate than what we see here. You
are referring your readers to the glossary entry not just for the
syntax but also the entire concept of <pathspec>.
IOW, it would be needed to drop "syntax" from "about the <pathspec>
syntax" from here to match the update to "git reset" documentation.
Thanks.
