In git we use, "git reset HEAD file", to remove a file from stage but how does it work? Doesn't HEAD refer to the most recent commit. How is it realted to staging area?

+ [2014-09-26T00:29:11Z] daMaestro Evening. I'm trying to create a PR of commits that have already been committed into master. I'm curious how I can achieve this. I've created a branch from the tag I would like to compare from, but I'm unable to create a PR because the commits in question have already been merged into master.
