"git add $file" makes a local change to the index at path $file",
and reverting that local change is what "read-tree --reset"
primarily does.

The difference cased by presence or lack of "-u" is only about the
working tree files, so s/local/working tree/ perhaps?

I'd also phrase s/If `-u` is used/When used with `-u`/ if I were
writing this.

Thanks.
