rm -fr * # use at your own risk
rm -f .git/index
Then, you can get back a tree with "git checkout" or "git checkout
HEAD -- .". The advantage of this solution over the empty-branch
solution is that although you destroyed your index, HEAD is still
there so "git log" and friends will show you where you are.
