 OPTIONS
 -------
---mixed::
-	Resets the index but not the working tree (i.e., the changed files
-	are preserved but not marked for commit) and reports what has not
-	been updated. This is the default action.
-
 --soft::
 	Does not touch the index file nor the working tree at all, but
 	requires them to be in a good order. This leaves all your changed
 	files "Changes to be committed", as 'git status' would
 	put it.
