 *
 * When specifying a Soft kind of reset, the head will be moved to the commit.
 *
 * Specifying a Mixed kind of reset will trigger a Soft reset and the index will
 * be replaced with the content of the commit tree.
 *
 * Specifying a Hard kind of reset will trigger a Mixed reset and the working
 * directory will be replaced with the content of the index.

 *
 * @param target Object to which the Head should be moved to. This object
 * must belong to the given `repo` and can either be a git_commit or a
 * git_tag. When a git_tag is being passed, it should be dereferencable
 * to a git_commit which oid will be used as the target of the branch.
 *
 * @param reset_type Kind of reset operation to perform.
 *
 * @return GIT_SUCCESS or an error code
