I don't know anything about programming, i came here from /all, but it seems to me that a command that's this permanently destructive warrants a second confirmation dialog message reminding the user that the files will be permanently deleted and not undoable

Here is the exact warning that a user had to click through in order to get to where they got:

Hm ok yeah, that seems quite scary sounding so that i would strongly hesitate before clicking on "discard ALL changes". Still, I wonder if a second confirmation dialog with more information is warranted for a command that's so destructive.

I guess cancelling would go back to the "Then you want to commit all files?" dialog, which the user didn't want to, he just wanted to cancel whatever the IDE was trying to start.
