In that case, we should perhaps deprecate 'git reset --merge' and
encourage users to use 'git merge --abort' instead. (I was thinking
first that it doesn't make sense conceptually to have a command under
'git reset' that only works for merges, but we have the same with 'git
checkout' already in the form of 'git checkout --ours', so perhaps
it's ok to keep 'git reset --merge' then.)
