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:

That's not a very good dialog box. He didn't make any changes, so discarding them doesn't sound like a problem.

There should be a notice when you enable source control that this will permanently delete all existing files with a checkbox (checked by default) that says "Add existing files to source control."
