"git reset" is about resetting *both* the branch tip and the
work tree.  Doesn't it create unwanted work tree files when
misused this way at this point already?

> cd foo && git push && cd ..

"git push" never touches the work tree.  It is possible that
there is a PEBCAK hook enabled in that bare repository that
creates random files upon receiving a push, but that is hardly
worth reporting _here_ on the list ;-).

Puzzled...
