From past experience, I find that it is important to also implement the
`-z` option (which traditionally means: accept items via the command
line that are delimited by NULs).

And you might find inspiration in my patch to read the paths passed to
`git reset` from stdin:

I guess you could use a similar approach just after the
`parse_pathspec()` call in `prepare_index()`:
