This leaves 'file' in the staging area. Using "git reset --hard" like
you did at the start is probably the easiest way to clean up.


Apart from the testing, since the following is not true anymore...

  For quickly making a snapshot, you can omit "push".  In this mode,
  non-option arguments are not allowed to prevent a misspelled
  subcommand from making an unwanted stash entry.  The two exceptions to
  this are `stash -p` which acts as alias for `stash push -p` and
  pathspec elements, which are allowed after a double hyphen `--` for
  disambiguation.

...you should probably change the documentation for "git push" as well.
