Warns you that changes will be discarded....not quite the same words

If you use git and understand that VSC's source control stuff is just a thin wrapper around git, you should understand what "discard all changes" means

"discard" is not a git operation. Reset and restore are, but those weren't the words used.

I just tried right now to get the exact message.

Are you sure you want to DELETE foo?
This is IRREVERSIBLE!
This file will be FOREVER LOST if you proceed.

The confirmation button even says Delete File...

User error.

Ah looking at issue 32459 it was addressed shortly after.

You're right that it did originally say "Discard".
