+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.

git clean -d -x -f
git status
git reset --hard
