+1. Unfortunately git doesn't have a single handy command for wiping out all non-SCM files. I'm using a small tool called 'gitco' (inspired by 'cvsco') I wrote when I started to use git: #!/bin/sh # gitco - cruel checkout. Discards everything that has not been # committed, and checkout missing files. # # Written by Simon Josefsson.
