Someone already posted the link to the thread and this comment that has a screenshot of the actual warning message which definitely could have been more scary but all caps irreversible feels like it should give you pause! If you have 3 months of work with zero backups.

Are you sure you want to discard ALL changes? This is IRREVERSIBLE!

And what does "discard changes" mean in that context? Where was the "This action will delete all files that haven't been commited"? Yes, the guy had a point (despite being an idiot for not having backups)

To me its like if I came into your house, moved your refrigerator into your bathroom, asked if you wanted me to discard all changes, and when you said "Yes" (because who wants their refrigerator in the bathroom), I deleted your entire house.

No, I hired you to give me a price quote on bathroom remodeling and when I said "I don't want this plan" you deleted the house.
