I'm wondering if there's anyone who can recommend a smart way to
"reset" the index entry for individual files to the contents of HEAD,
in effect, removing any previous change between HEAD and the index
(for those files).
I'm aware that 'git gui' lets you do this (in a human-friendly way)
but I want to do this from a script (and am not concerned about the
human-friendliness, as long as it's not too programmer-unfriendly).
Thanks,
Gustav

Believe it or not, it's "git reset" ;-)
git reset -- file
You can only reset the index entry for that file to some older version,
e.g. "git reset HEAD~5 -- file".

Isn't "git reset -- path" what you want? Or perhaps "git checkout HEAD
-- path" if you also want to reset the file content.

err.. 'git reset HEAD -- file'? The man page says "The
second form with paths is used to revert selected paths in
the index from a given commit, without moving HEAD."

Thanks everyone; I feel appropriately silly now :-)
