I often do a hard reset on a commit. Scenarios:

1. I commit something, something else, then realize that same stuff has
already been done by someone else. So I want to "git reset --hard
somesha" to back before when I started with those commits. Throwing away
a branch for that is not always the appropriate solution.

2. I start working on things, commit stuff, realize that I'd better put
that into a topic branch. I create that branch and want to reset the
previous one (usually "master") to when I started working on this
particular feature.

At the moment I always to M-! git reset --hard ... with copy&paste of
the SHA I want to rest to. Why not enable this from magit itself?

Regards,
m.
