reset: allow reset on unborn branch
Some users seem to think, knowingly or not, that being on an unborn branch is like having a commit with an empty tree checked out, but when run on an unborn branch, "git reset" currently fails with: fatal: Failed to resolve 'HEAD' as a valid ref. Instead of making users figure out that they should run git rm --cached -r . , let's teach "git reset" without a revision argument, when on an unborn branch, to behave as if the user asked to reset to an empty tree. Don't take the analogy with an empty commit too far, though, but still disallow explictly referring to HEAD in "git reset HEAD".
