reset: revise index refresh advice
Update the advice describing index refresh from "enumerate unstaged changes" to "refresh the index." Describing 'refresh_index(...)' as "enumerating unstaged changes" is not fully representative of what an index refresh is doing; more generally, it updates the properties of index entries that are affected by outside-of-index state, e.g. CE_UPTODATE, which is affected by the file contents on-disk. This distinction is relevant to operations that read the index but do not refresh first - e.g., 'git read-tree' - where a stale index may cause incorrect behavior. In addition to changing the advice message, use the "advise" function to print advice. Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
