reset --hard: make use of the pretty machinery
reset --hard currently uses its own logic for printing the first line of
the commit message in its output. Instead of just using the first line,
use the pretty machinery to create the output.
In addition to the easier to follow code, this makes the output more
consistent with other commands that print the title of the commit, such
as 'git commit --oneline' or 'git checkout', which both use
'pp_commit_easy()' with the CMIT_FMT_ONELINE modifier.
It is a slight change of the output if the second line of the commit
message is not a blank line, i.e. if the commit message is
foo
bar
previously we would print "HEAD is now at 000000 foo", while after
this change we print "HEAD is now at 000000 foo bar", same as 'git log
--oneline' shows "000000 foo bar".
So this does make the output more consistent with other commands, and
'reset' is a porcelain command, so nobody should be parsing the output
in scripts.
The current behaviour dates back to 0e5a7faa3a ("Make "git reset" a
builtin.", 2007-09-11), so I assume (without digging into the old
codebase too much) that the logic was implemented because there was
no convenience function such as 'pp_commit_easy' that would do this
already.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
