Document "git-reset --merge"
The commit log message for the feature made it sound as if this is a saner version of --mixed, but the use case presented makes it clear that it is a better variant of --hard when your changes and somebody else's changes are mixed together. Perhaps we would want to rewrite the example that shows the use of --hard not to talk about recovering from a failed merge? Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

working tree, you can safely say "git pull" when you know

that the change in the other branch does not overlap with

them.

<2> After inspecting the result of the merge, you may find

that the change in the other branch is unsatisfactory. Running

"git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD" will let you go back to where you

were, but it will discard your local changes, which you do not

want. "git reset --merge" keeps your local changes.
