-DISCUSSION
-----------
-
-The tables below show what happens when running:
-
-----------
-git reset --option target
-----------
-
-to reset the HEAD to another commit (`target`) with the different
-reset options depending on the state of the files.
-
-In these tables, A, B, C and D are some different states of a
-file. For example, the first line of the first table means that if a
-file is in state A in the working tree, in state B in the index, in
-state C in HEAD and in state D in the target, then "git reset --soft
-target" will put the file in state A in the working tree, in state B
-in the index and in state D in HEAD.

-"reset --merge" is meant to be used when resetting out of a conflicted
-merge. Any mergy operation guarantees that the work tree file that is
-involved in the merge does not have local change wrt the index before
-it starts, and that it writes the result out to the work tree. So if
-we see some difference between the index and the target and also
-between the index and the work tree, then it means that we are not
-resetting out from a state that a mergy operation left after failing
-with a conflict. That is why we disallow --merge option in this case.
-
-"reset --keep" is meant to be used when removing some of the last
-commits in the current branch while keeping changes in the working
-tree. If there could be conflicts between the changes in the commit we
-want to remove and the changes in the working tree we want to keep,
-the reset is disallowed. That's why it is disallowed if there are both
-changes between the working tree and HEAD, and between HEAD and the
-target. To be safe, it is also disallowed when there are unmerged
-entries.
-
-The following tables show what happens when there are unmerged
-entries:
-
- working index HEAD target working index HEAD
- ----------------------------------------------------
- X U A B --soft (disallowed)
- --mixed X B B
- --hard B B B
- --merge B B B
- --keep (disallowed)
-
- working index HEAD target working index HEAD
- ----------------------------------------------------
- X U A A --soft (disallowed)
- --mixed X A A
- --hard A A A
- --merge A A A
- --keep (disallowed)
-
-X means any state and U means an unmerged index.
