I agree, the 'you are now at ...' is not very helpful, I just TOLD you where I want to go to! However, 'you were at ....' is also not optimal, since what I really want to know is where I was at "plus any old data I had" (going back to the 'git reset --hard' should create a snapshot of the current content before doing it's resetting'). I would definitely prefer 'you were at' over 'you are now at' though.

WRT the 'none of your business', it sounds like 'I [already] know [that]' might be approriate?
