Removing all files from the just initialized git repository staging area

Question

Say I just created a repo

git init

and then did

git add .

Then i did

git status

and noticed that there were several files that I did not want. I went in .git/info/and added these files to the file exclude. Then i tried

git reset .

but got

fatal: Failed to resolve 'HEAD' as a valid ref.

Attempt

git reset --hard

had the same effect. I think this is because I still did not commit? How can I achieve the same effect on a new, uncompromising repo, then?

thank
