git update-index --assume-unchanged and git reset

Question

Here is the scenario:

In my working directory, I have a number of files (let's call them A,B,C) that I've edited. I then ran git update-index --assume-unchanged on those files. Now git status returns blank. Good.

Now, if I do a git reset --hard, the contents of the files A,B, and C, revert back to the contents before I've edited them and "assume-unchanged" them.

Is there a way to stop git from actually reverting files A,B, and C, and simply ignore them?

Thanks,

Ken

You can do:

git update-index --skip-worktree A
