Dear diary, on Wed, Apr 20, 2005 at 10:32:35PM CEST, I got a letter where Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> told me that...

yet another thing: what is the canonical 'pasky way' of simply nuking the current files and checking out the latest tree (according to .git/HEAD). Right now i'm using a script to:
read-tree $(tree-id $(cat .git/HEAD)) checkout-cache -a
(i first do an 'rm -f *' in the working directory)
i guess there's an existing command for this already?
git cancel
hm, that's a pretty unintuitive name though. How about making it 'git checkout' and providing a 'git checkout -f' option to force the checkout? (or something like this)
Since it does not really checkout. Ok, it does, but that's only small part of it. It just cancels whatever local changes are you doing in the tree and bring it to consistent state. When you have a merge in progress and after you see the sheer number of conflicts you decide to get your hands off, you type just git cancel. Doing basically anything with your tree (not only local changes checkout would fix, but also various git operations, including git add/rm and git seek) can be easily fixed by git cancel.
How about 'git revert'?
Most editors and word processors use that idiom for revert to saved copy, with the obvious parallel here.
