This makes little sense.
Which remote?  What if I have multiple remotes?  Which branch? (Many
of my branches are behind `master`).  What if I want different
histories on different remotes?  What about more advanced operations
which implicitly 'reset' like rebase?  What if I want to rewrite
history?
