even with this a git checkout -f should replace all files, correct?

Hmm. I don't think so.

As far as I recall, "-f" only overrides certain errors (like unmerged
files or not up-to-date content), it doesn't change behavior wrt files
that git thinks are already up-to-date.

what about a reset --hard? (is there any command that would force the 
files to be re-written, no matter what git thinks is already there)
