To be honest, I have no idea what the above describes. I read 9bc454d
(reset: add option "--keep" to "git reset" - 2010-01-19) and figured
that --keep is like --merge except that "git diff" before and after
the reset is exactly the same, is it? I have never used --keep before.

I use "git reset --keep" to

 - discard a bad commit: git reset --keep HEAD^
 - start working against a different commit:

       git checkout -b topic &&
       ... hack hack hack without committing ... &&
       : "oops, I thought I was on master but I was somewhere else" &&
       git reset --keep master

..

Thanks. Your changes make sense to me now.
