+Hi,
+
+I was a bit hasty the other day and did something stupid.  I added a new folder to git annex.  Something like
+  git annex add my-important folder
+my-important folder contains a lot of files and it took a couple of minutes to add.  When I then tried to do 
+  git commit -am 'added files'
+per the walkthrough I got an error (9, as I recall).  I thought I'd added too many files or something so I wanted to start over and perhaps I didn't fully understand the mechanisms of annex I did the following
+  git reset --hard .
+Unfortunately, did replaced my files with a bunch of symlinks, rather than making git annex forget and go back to the previous stage as I had hoped.
+
+I have managed to recover most of my files from backup, but some of them I still can't recover.  Is there any way back?  It seems I still have the files in my git folder.
+
+Thanks,
+Rasmus
