Based on the article, and many of the comments here, I didn't realise how comfortable I have become using git! For example, the last "bad situation" I had to get myself out of involved unreadable .git contents caused by filesystem corruption. If you can "rm -rf fucking-git-repo-dir" then it's not too bad; when that fails with an IO error is when things get interesting!
