Poor guy basically did a git reset —hard HEAD without even a git repository

Even reset hard wouldn't delete untracked files. This was a complete overreach by the GUI, performing a clean (and likely a forced one, as git's requireForce defaults to true).

And they did rectify that eventually, giving a warning, and an option to simply reset. It's unfortunate this poor person had to be the trigger for that change.

WORSE! If you read the thread and linked issue, it was closer to a clean.
