The refresh command is called from git-add--interactive to ensure that git's view of the worktree is up-to-date. This is necessary for most commands which use git-add--interactive, as they are interacting with the worktree, however it's not necessary for git-reset, which exclusively operates on the index. This patch skips the refresh call when performing a git-reset -p, which can improve performance on large repositories which have out-of-date, or no, caches of the current worktree state. I chose to use the existing FILTER property of the flavour to make this decision. A separate REFRESH property could be added instead.
