Subject: difference between "git reset --hard" and "git checkout -f"
Message-ID: <2e24e5b90804300437t39ac16a6ga3cbe0b91d7e5565@mail.gmail.com>

I have two questions:

(1) as in the subject line, what's the difference between these two
commands?  (I'm talking about those exact commands, not variations).
I am unable to see any.

(2) shouldn't one of these have an option to throw away untracked
files also, to get to a pristine HEAD-eqvt state?  Or is it better to
force user to use git clean separately for that?

Thanks,

Sitaram
