Re: "git reset" and newly created files.

So you would naturally be tempted to do this:

    ... Re-edit, compile, and test.  This time it is perfect.
    $ git commit -a -C ORIG_HEAD

Well, not really.  You can lose any file newly created in
ORIG_HEAD this way.  Instead, you need to do this:

    ... Re-edit, compile, and test.  This time it is perfect.
    $ git add <whatever file you have changed>
    $ git commit -a -C ORIG_HEAD

Do people find this a big problem?

I often do some maybe not that brilliant changes in my tree,
and when I then ask git to reset these I expect git to reset
everything.

After a git-reset HEAD^ I really expect git to have rewinded back till
where I started with no files added whatsoever.

From the matter of least suprise git should not remember files added,

one have to do that by themself again if needed.
