It is actually quite hard to do a terminal mistake when using git.
Pretty much everything is recorded in the reflog, and you can rewind to
any intermediate state in the last 3 months or so.
The downside is of course that accidentally checked-in large amounts of
binary garbage are rather hard to get out of the system in a way that
they stop taking disk space.
Anyway, Torsten still has not reported what version control he is using
and what particular problem he encountered.
