from "man git-reset":
SYNOPSIS
git reset [-q] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>...
git reset (--patch | -p) [<tree-ish>] [--] [<paths>...]
git reset [--soft | --mixed [-N] | --hard | --merge | --keep] [-q] [<commit>]
oddly, the third form says nothing about possible "<paths>", even
though i'm pretty sure they're valid in that third case (at least for
"--mixed"). thoughts? is that just an oversight in the man page?

--mixed prints a deprecation warning. I don't think it's worth making
the synopsis more complicated for that. All other modes reject
pathspec.

Hmm.. maybe I misread the code. I just tried it
$ ./git reset --mixed HEAD foo
warning: --mixed with paths is deprecated; use 'git reset -- <paths>' instead.

weird ... i just tried this two ways, explicitly specifying
"--mixed" and also without (which is the default mode, right?), and i
got the deprecated message with the first but not the second. that
seems ... odd.

my test:
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
modified: README.asc
modified: Rakefile
$ git reset -- README.asc
Unstaged changes after reset:
M README.asc
$ git reset --mixed -- Rakefile
warning: --mixed with paths is deprecated; use 'git reset -- <paths>' instead.
Unstaged changes after reset:
M README.asc
M Rakefile
$
that definitely seems inconsistent.

Without --mixed, you're using the first form
git reset [-q] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>...
which accepts pathspec. If it's not clear, of course patches are welcome.

Yup. The deprecation is about spelling with "--mixed" when invoking
the "restore these paths out of tree-ish (or HEAD when omitted)
only in the index" mode. The feature is of course not deprecated
(but it might have been better if it were "git checkout --cached").
