As a big fan of cvsco and friends, I admit I often miss that one in

However, one problem with that, compared to 'cvsco', is that
'git-reset --hard' does not tell me tell me which files were deleted
and which file were restored.  May I suggest a --verbose or similar?

Here is a small change to your script that does just that.  It is far
from perfect:

- uses cogito and not plain git.  Not sure how to achieve the same
compact layout with plain git - both cogito and stgit forge this type
of output themselves.  Would be great to get it directly from git
itself...

- not very efficient, and not very secure, since we scan the tree once
for reporting and then once for deleting the files, leaving a window
where files could be created by another program after the cg-status
call, and then removed by git-reset.

You've been warned :)

#!/bin/sh
# gitco - cruel checkout.  Discards everything that has not been
# committed, and checkout missing files.
git clean -d -x
cg status -w
git reset --hard

jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$ gitco
Removing foo
M Makefile.am
! gendocs.sh
jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$

Perfect!
