Didn't say you did, that was just a general reminder.

I suspect it interprets the dot as a path restricting the reset.


One thing that can certainly be said against GIT is that its UI isn't
exactly intuitive (although getting better). So if one doesn't know what
a certain invocation will do, it may not be  a good idea in general to
just try it. IME it's better to try and understand what it'll do from
documentation or examples first.
