It shows a diffstat, and asks the user if they would like to continue,
or show a full diff of the things getting reset.

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.

Ah, you're completely right about the index_file part (this is
actually the first time I've looked at the git-code :P)

Hrm.. I should have just used a shell script wrapper instead it seems.

I do think something like this would be nice though.

w.r.t. the style, you were referring to just the array initializers
right?  Or was there something else I did that doesn't look right?
