I was under the impression that --hard means working-directory-also
as opposed to tree-and-index-only. Nothing to do with 
destructive-discarding. If it is then something is missing.
I need 2 distinct functions. You combine to functions under
one command.

I did lern the lingo and got bitten. I wanted to do one thing
also got the other one.

there is:
git-reset --clean - destructive-discarding any local changes
git-reset --hard - move tree index and working directory to new head

How can I separate between them, Please
