since git-branch is usually used for _making_ a branch, whereas

"branch -f" is very often used to "reset the branch tip".  My
git day typically begins with "branch -f pu next".

I think we just have a different perspective of what is "usual" here.

Actually, after thinking about this a bit more, I have become
somewhat reluctant, as this might confuse new users by giving
them a wrong mental model of what "reset" is about.

OK, as I said on irc, I don't think this is a huge issue in the first
place, and your argument about encouraging a particular workflow for
git-reset makes some sense (even if that hasn't been my approach to
git-reset in the past).
