Answer 1

This is an old question, but was still relevant to me. I did not find my answer until asking around the office, and discovered that the problem was with submodules. When they are updated, and your own repository does not reflect those changes, it shows up as having differences, reseting the head doesn't help. If this is the case, run:

git status update

That should help fix things (in this particular case)
