The theory: - Read the ticket - Read the changeset description - Read a few relevant areas of the code to refresh knowledge and context - View the commit messages - Take a pass through the commits, to get a sense of what the author was thin

It's increasingly difficult to tell what's going to be critical infrastructure and what isn't. The same is true in the real world; a defender or a belligerent alike might hope that the grain mill in the village will be funct
