reset: parse rev as tree-ish in patch mode
Since 2f328c3d ("reset $sha1 $pathspec: require $sha1 only to be treeish", 2013-01-14), we allowed "git reset $object -- $path" to reset individual paths that match the pathspec to take the blob from a tree object, not necessarily a commit, while the form to reset the tip of the current branch to some other commit still must be given a commit. Like resetting with paths, "git reset --patch" does not update HEAD, and need not require a commit. The path-filtered form, "git reset --patch $object -- $pathspec", has accepted a tree-ish since 2f328c3d. "git reset --patch" is documented as accepting a <tree-ish> since bf44142f ("reset: update documentation to require only tree-ish with paths", 2013-01-16). Documentation changes are not required. Loosen the restriction that requires a commit for the unfiltered "git reset --patch $object". Signed-off-by: Nika Layzell <nika@thelayzells.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
