Re: three questions: proper forum? & reverting changes to the working directory

I'd say that here is fine. #git on freenode is also a good source of advice.

2) I am unsure that I did things the "proper" way. I have a git maintained
subdirectory.  I made some changes and saved them in the working
directory, but did not "git add" or "git commit" them.  I then decided
that I really messed up what I was doing (basically reformatting some
source code).  So to revert the changes back to what was last committed, I
did a "git reset --hard HEAD".  I think this is the proper way.  But I
picked up that command in the section of the documentation which was
talking about abandoning a "git merge" attempt.  What I did worked, but is
it the proper way?  If not, what is?

The easiest answer to this is run 'git status'. It'll list the files in
various states, and tell you how to undo the changes.
