I just learned painfully that git reset --hard deletes any previously untracked files that have been staged. I had to recover them one by one using git fsck. Before I did the reset I actually checked the list of files and saw them but I assumed that after the reset those files would be unstaged and untracked again. It just seemed the most natural bahavior. Is this a missing feature or is it in fact more logical to delete them? An alternative question would be, "Could the man page be improved so that what you ned was spotted sooner?". I ask because a similar discussion is happening on the developers list? (Aside: what reference material do you normally check in these cases?) Philip -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
