+In the first three forms, copy entries from `<tree-ish>` to the index.
+In the last form, set the current branch head (`HEAD`) to `<commit>`,
 optionally modifying index and working tree to match.
 The `<tree-ish>`/`<commit>` defaults to `HEAD` in all forms.

 and specifying a commit with `--source`, you
 can copy the contents of a path out of a commit to the index and to the
 working tree in one go.
