So should we _remove_ the safety valve in all cases where we're just losing stuff that's in the index? It is, after all, recoverable. Should there be a warning (I suspect it would get annoying very quickly)? I think this would help by making the use of '-f' more rare, which is the thing that can _really_ screw you, since it turns off the safety valve even for things that aren't recoverable. -Peff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
