Doing "reset --hard" makes all your uncommitted changes to be lost.
OTOH, if you push on the local branch associated with HEAD then
recovering all uncommitted changes later will not be easy either. So,
I wonder, if git push should require --force to push to HEAD of a
non-bare repository. It will be at least some warning (especially for
novices) to not to do that, and those who understand what they are
doing can use --force.
