"git clean" (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-clean.html) will delete untracked file. > So that 'tracked by git' isn't just another ambiguous semantic. While I can't find where it might be explicitly defined, it does seem clear that a file/dir is "tracked" as soon as it's added. My question is why "git reset --hard" can't make a special case for _newly added_ tracked files. After all, "git status" knows that they're "new files", and "git reset --hard" could realize that wiping them off the face of the earth isn't the most helpful thing possible. - Eric -- 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
