ok, you've lost your conflict resolutions.

In fact, it now seems that 'git reset --mixed' is always the same as
'git reset --merge'. So I must be missing something!
"git reset --merge" is an alias for "git merge --abort" (IIRC, it's
actually the other way around). Essentially, it reverts, or tries to
revert everything (worktree and index) as it was before the merge. That
includes throwing away conflict resolution.
Ok.
Now, I do agree that the documentation of "git reset" is terrible, 
Ok, good.

So is this a sufficient bug report to request that the documentation be
fixed? (I obviously don't know enough to even think about submitting a
patch).
