How about that:

+Reset only files who's content changed (instead of mtime modification)::
++
+------------
+$ git update-index --refresh               <1>
+$ git reset --hard                         <2>
+------------
++
+<1> Make git realize which files actually changed instead of
+checking out all files whether their content changed or only
+their mtime changed.
+<2> Now git reset --hard will checkout only the files that
+actually changed.
