"I cloned a remote repo. Then I pulled a branch from the remote repo
and it started changing all the these files.  I paniced and hit
ctrl-c.  Doh!  I should have checked out the branch locally before
pulling.  Now what?  How can I recover without cloning the repo
again?"

In general, for each common operation, it'd be nice to explain how to
"undo".
