git reset preserving several files

I have a bunch of files in a directory, and will version several files among all.

My git history will then look like the following:

commit0: Initial empty commit
commit1: start versioning file a.txt
commit2: edit a.txt
commit3: start versioning file b.txt
commit4: edit b.txt
...

After a while, I want to rollback all my changes, and come back to the state of commit0. However, doing git reset --hard commit0 will delete a.txt and b.txt

Is there a way to rollback all the changes but not delete the files that were added ?

Thanks,

Don't use --hard.

from commit 4:

git reset commit0
git checkout commit1 -- a.txt
git checkout commit3 -- b.txt
