Good question ...
The equivalent in ClearCase was a "cleartool uncheckout": http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSH27_7.1.1/com.ibm.rational.clearcase.cc_ref.doc/topics/ct_uncheckout.htm?cp=SSSH27_7.1.1%2F9-0-0-1-69
This has the -kee/p and -rm options on the command:
> –kee/p
> Preserves the contents of the checked-out version under a file-name of the form element-name.keep
> (or, to prevent name collisions, element-name.keep.1, element-name.keep.2, and so on).
>
> –rm
> Does not preserve the contents of the checked-out version. Thus, any edits that had been made to
> the checked-out version are lost.
The default action is to prompt the user for what to do with the lost changes:
> Cancel the checkout of file element util.c.
$ cleartool uncheckout util.c
Save private copy of "util.c"? [yes] no
Checkout cancelled for "util.c".
I guess the equivalent in git is the reset command: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-reset
This seems to have three key options:
> --hard
> Resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree since <commit>
> are discarded.
>
> -merge
> Resets the index and updates the files in the working tree that are different between <commit> and
> HEAD, but keeps those which are different between the index and working tree (i.e. which have changes
> which have not been added). If a file that is different between <commit> and the index has unstaged
> changes, reset is aborted.
>
> --keep
> Resets index entries and updates files in the working tree that are different between <commit> and
> HEAD. If a file that is different between <commit> and HEAD has local changes, reset is aborted.
So _similar_ (but more quirky IMHO) operation to ClearCase.
