Re: [PATCH] Make "git reset" a builtin. (incomplete)

This is the first version of the program "builtin-reset.c",
intended for replacing the script "git-reset.sh".

The --mixed option with -- paths is not implemented yet.

The tests I made for it are not finished so they are not included,
but it seems to pass the rest of the test suite.

Could you be so kind as to give a one-sentence summary what the
benefits over using a shell script would be?  I think this work has
started before I joined the list, and I'd be interested in the
motivation for it.  In general, I find shell scripts more pleasant for
hacking on than C code, and there is no long-term plan to replace all
of them, is there?  So unless there is some issue that can't be
addressed reliably or efficiently by reverting to other commands for
everything involving bulk processing, I am not really happy to see
shell scripts replaced.

Thanks,
