Git Extensions - can not Revert local changes

Question

After some Pull cmd I have got 3 files that were 'changed'. When I checked these files I saw the changes were just in whitespace format. OK, I press 'Revert changes' (R):

git ext UI

All blinked then... I see these exact 3 files! Again! OK, I choose in the right window - 'ignore changes in whitespaces'. 'Changes' are gone from preview. Files stay 'changes'.

I tried to stage/revert or unstage/revert them. Tried to delete physically then bash: git checkout -- . They are still in change list!

I tried:

git stash save --keep-index
git stash drop
git checkout -- .

They are ALIVE!!

How on Earth I could ELIMINATE these 'changes' in files?

Would it be too much if I hunt all Git Extensions developer team members and annihilate them one by one... — Andrey St, Jul 17 '14 at 19:10
try command line git reset --hard , or the same in git extensions. FYI - threatening developers that provide you free software is not a way to create goodwill. — Raul Nohea Goodness, Jul 17 '14 at 19:33
Yep, I was terrible wrong. But get reset --hard had no effect, too — Andrey St, Jul 17 '14 at 19:50

Solution:

git rm .gitattributes
git add -A
git reset --hard

Source: Unstaged changes left after git --reset hard
