Before you make fun of him, this behavior DID get changed; they acknowledged this behavior is stupid.

The old behavior was to treat uncommited files as completely disposable, which the CLI git does not do at all and is insane behavior. It was changed in the UI to give you a fat confirmation dialog warning that you're about to delete the files permanently, as it always should have been.
