Well, then maybe it's time to try the command before continuing
commenting on its behavior ;-).
$ git status

$ git diff
diff --cc foo.txt

On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean

"git reset --merge" is an alias for "git merge --abort" (IIRC, it's
actually the other way around). Essentially, it reverts, or tries to
revert everything (worktree and index) as it was before the merge. That
includes throwing away conflict resolution.
Now, I do agree that the documentation of "git reset" is terrible, and I
actually think that the command does too many different things (putting
"git reset" and "git reset --hard" so close to each other is not a good
idead IMHO: the first is a harmless command I use very often, and the
second is one of the most destructive operation Git has).
