Can you explain that again? That paragraph makes no sense, because it
boils down to saying two different thing for "changes that are in both the
work tree and the index". First it says such changes are kept in the work
tree (but discarded in the index), and then it says that the changes are
discarded.
Which seems very odd.
Or are my reading comprehension skills lacking?
The patch also seems to imply that it's always about HEAD. True?
