I agree, the 'you are now at ...' is not very helpful, I just TOLD you
where I want to go to! However, 'you were at ....' is also not
optimal, since what I really want to know is where I was at "plus any
old data I had" (going back to the 'git reset --hard' should create a
snapshot of the current content before doing it's resetting'). I would
definitely prefer 'you were at' over 'you are now at' though.

WRT the 'none of your business', it sounds like 'I [already] know
[that]' might be approriate?
