Re: [jgit-dev] Jgit Hard Reset Issue

This issue is still there in the jgit version 3.2.0.201312181205-r that I just downloaded and tested. Please point me to the nightly build location, so that I can test that as well.

There should be no difference between JGit and C Git. Try the latest release or
nightly build see it the behavior is there. If it is, then also try the nightly build.

2.3.1 is pretty old in OSS terms. There is at least one fix included in the latest
release (3.2) that just might relate to this.
Will do. Thanks Robin.
