Although i don't know what is causing this weird behaviour, i know one more way of discarding changes that might work.

Warning! Be extremely careful and do a backup first; this can be highly destructive.

If all data that you care about is committed in the repository, you can simply delete everything in your working directory (of course except hidden .git directory) and run git reset --hard HEAD to have git recreate the working directory solely from the repository data.

Remember to carefully check if you don't have any important data that is not tracked by git before doing this. It's not enough to check git status for uncommitted changes - remember that deleting all files from the working dir will also delete files which you told git to ignore, and they won't be recreated with git reset --hard HEAD because they're not tracked at all.
