Hi,

I know that many times, I do a reset --hard thinking I had commited a 
file already, but it turns out that I hadn't; and so this makes sure I 
don't lose any work when the caffeine wears off.

Maybe it should also be made that only hard resets take this option, as 
I cannot see this being useful in other places.
I am slightly negative on this patch.  Not only do I think that it is both 
easier and more natural to run diff/status/an-alias to see what a reset 
would do, but the patch only handles the index_file part (missing the -- 
<file> part AFAICT).

Besides, the code style is incompatible with the surrounding code.
