The difference is git reset HEAD <file> is temporary - the command will be applied to the next commit only, but git rm --cached <file> will unstage untill it gets added again with git add <file>. Also, git rm --cached <file> means if you push that branch to the remote, anyone pulling the branch will get the file ACTUALLY deleted from their folder.

Cleaned up formatting, now it's a little easier to read.

@jeswang files are either 'known' to git (changes in them are being tracked.), or they are not 'versioned'. reset head undoes your current changes, but the file is still being monitored by git. rm --cached takes the file out of versioning, so git no longer checks it for changes (and also removes eventually indexed present changes, told to git by the prior add), but the changed file will be kept in your working copy, that is in you file folder on the HDD.
