revert: rename --reset option to --quit
The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the
sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce
--reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name.
Change it now, while we still have the time.
The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've
long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when
you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit. Mnemonic:
this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using ---
we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure
and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state.
The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact. We
might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though.
Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit)
instead of --reset. While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions
of these operations in "-h" output.
Before:
--reset forget the current operation
--continue continue the current operation
After:
--quit end revert or cherry-pick sequence
--continue resume revert or cherry-pick sequence
