Today i use git reset carelessly and lose all my changes!
To remind other people not do the same wrong thing, i share my
experience and propose a new option to avoid this happens again.
------------------------------------
foo
.git
bar
file1
file2
------------------------------------
In the direcotry structure above, i want to make bar as a repository
(which hasn't yet been tracked by foo repository). I should have done
this as follows
-------------------------------------------
cd bar
git init
git add
------------------------------------------
but i fogot to type "git init" which results that file1 and file2 are
added to index of foo repository. I tried to revert the operation
using "git reset". And the tragedy happened at that time because i
made so fatal a mistake that i typed "git reset --hard". And i lost
all my files in bar dir!
So, can we introduce a --recover option for "git reset" to save the
foolish or careless people like me?
