This is kind of a re-roll of [1] (wow, apparently it took me almost two months to get done). The goal was, then and now, to teach "git reset" to work on an unborn branch and to not require a commit when a tree would do. This time, I also made some tangential improvements along the way, mostly related to readability and performance.
As usual, the risker patches are towards the end. In particular, I find it hard to evaluate how risky the last patch is. That last patch is responsible for much of the improvements in the timing table below, so it would be nice if it doesn't break things too badly (test pass, of course). The timings are best-of-five, wall time. Command Before After reset (warm) 0.23 0.07 reset -q (warm) 0.23 0.03 reset . (warm) 0.09 0.07 reset -q .
