I often do some maybe not that brilliant changes in my tree, and when I then ask git to reset these I expect git to reset everything. After a git-reset HEAD^ I really expect git to have rewinded back till where I started with no files added whatsoever. >From the matter of least suprise git should not remember files added, one have to do that by themself again if needed.
