Reasons I hate git tonight.
- If you delete a file, then realize you didn't want to do this , you can bring it back with `git checkout -- filepath`. But if you accidentally delete a directory, and you want to bring it back, this won't work. You have to say `git reset -- dirpath && git checkout -- dirpath`. No one will tell you this. StackOverflow, on this subject, just lies.
- Want to create a git archive and exclude certain files from it? THIS IS GONNA BE THE HARDEST THING IN THE FUCKIN WORLD
