Hi,
I made some commits that later on I wanted to cancel. I did:
% git-branch master-2006-get-rid-of-commits
% git-reset --hard [sha1id]

where sha1id is the id of commit I want to revert back to. After this, git-log points at the right commit (the one with [sha1id]) as the last commit made. However, the working copy is left in the original state, i.e with the unwanted changes.. How do I also revert the working sources into an earlier state.

Because git-commit says "nothing to change" at this stage, git checkout -f does not cure my problem. How do I also revert working copy to earlier commit?

Thanks, Bahadir
