it hurts the common case of not failing at all.
* Input and preconditions to "git reset" has been loosened where
appropriate. "git reset $fromtree Makefile" requires $fromtree to
be any tree (it used to require it to be a commit), for example.
"git reset" (without options or parameters) used to error out when
you do not have any commits in your history, but it now gives you
an empty index (to match non-existent commit you are not even on).

there could be corner cases, especially when running the command

* "git clean" showed what it was going to do, but sometimes end up
finding that it was not allowed to do so, which resulted in a
confusing output (e.g. after saying that it will remove an

which it is not allowed to remove). It now performs the actions
and then reports the outcome more faithfully.
