Oh no. I can only agree and repeat myself, as I think this is nonsense.
git is a tool, and like every tool you can hurt yourself with it if you
don't read the manual and follow really simple guidelines. I used git
reset --hard on a test-repo before using it on my real code, and it has
never bit me since. Why do we have --hard then? It would be "An option
which does nothing unless you also specify -f on the command-line".
Just my opinion, but I think quite a few people feel the same
Regards,
Jojo
