This will only reset the file content to the version in the index.
E.g. 

	echo modified >> a.txt
	git add a.txt
	git checkout -- a.txt           (1)

	git checkout HEAD -- a.txt	(2)


(1) This will do nothing to your file 'a.txt' in your workdir because
    the index and the workdir are identical

(2) This will reset your file to the state before you run that bogus
    echo modified >> a.txt   comand

Greetings,
