hoi :)
I have the following problem:
nbg1l001:~/src/git > git branch
* master
  next
  origin
nbg1l001:~/src/git > git checkout -b test
nbg1l001:~/src/git > git status
# On branch refs/heads/test
nothing to commit
zsh: exit 1     git status
nbg1l001:~/src/git > git reset --hard v1.3.3
nbg1l001:~/src/git > git status
# On branch refs/heads/test
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add" to add to commit)
#
#       git-quiltimport
#       git-upload-tar
nothing to commit
zsh: exit 1     git status
nbg1l001:~/src/git > git reset --hard master
nbg1l001:~/src/git > git status
# On branch refs/heads/test
nothing to commit
zsh: exit 1     git status

nbg1l001:~/src/git > git --version git version 1.3.3.g0825d

However, the complete test suite and especially t7101-reset.sh succeed. Any ideas?
