Yup, I did something like that command once, to a project developed over 3 months by 5 people without a backup policy (university group project). Luckily, this was in the days when most of the work was done on non-networked computers, so we cobbled everything together from partial source trees on floppies, hunkered down for a week to hammer out code and got back to where we were before. It's amazing how fast you can write a piece of code when you've already written it once before. That was the day I started backing up everything.
