As a big fan of cvsco and friends, I admit I often miss that one in git repos.

Here is a small change to your script that does just that. It is far from perfect:

- uses cogito and not plain git.  Not sure how to achieve the same
compact layout with plain git - both cogito and stgit forge this type
of output themselves.  Would be great to get it directly from git
itself...

- not very efficient, and not very secure, since we scan the tree once
for reporting and then once for deleting the files, leaving a window
where files could be created by another program after the cg-status
call, and then removed by git-reset.

You've been warned :)

#!/bin/sh # gitco - cruel checkout. Discards everything that has not been # committed, and checkout missing files. git clean -d -x cg status -w git reset --hard
