The explicit '--refresh' option was needed in the past when '--quiet',
'reset.quiet', and/or 'reset.refresh' disabled the index refresh in 'reset
--mixed'. Those options have since either been deprecated or made to always
refresh the index by default, leaving only '--[no-]refresh' determining
whether the index is refreshed or not.

Because there is nothing other than '--no-refresh' to disable index refresh,
we do not need a '--refresh' option to counteract some other refresh
disabling.

To ensure users don't use what is effectively a no-op, remove '--refresh'
from the set of 'reset' options, as well as its usage in 'git stash'.

'--refresh' could be used to countermand a previous '--no-refresh' 
(typically when using an alias that includes '--no-refresh'). Usually we 
have '--foo' even when it is enabled by default e.g. 'commit --verify'. 
I think the code below does actually support '--refresh' as 
parse_options() is smart enough to recognize option names beginning with 
'--no-' and creates an inverse option by removing the prefix rather than 
adding '--no-' as it normally does.

I'm confused why we need to change the option type here - am I missing 
something?

Makes sense, I didn't think of the alias use-case/generally wanting to
counteract the negative version of the option. Thanks!

This was to explicitly prevent a user from specifying "--refresh", only
allowing "--no-refresh". But, based on your earlier comments, there's still
some value in having "--refresh", so I'll drop this patch entirely.
