This is not so good. The original pretended as if <paths> are the
exact pathnames, so it was sort-of OK for it to say "for all paths".
Since we are highlighting the fact that these are not pathnames but
the patterns to match pathnames, however, the description needs a
slight update to match, perhaps like
ths form resets the index entries for all paths that match
the `<pathspec>` to their...
state at `<tree-ish>`. (It does not affect the working tree or
the current branch.)
Yes, I wasn't paying enough attention.
Changed in V3, thanks!
