        That's the bit that scares me. It seems to be possible to irrevocably f*** up a Git repo in a way that isn't possible with SVN (or at least it's harder to do). Git lets you rewrite the history which seems a bit dangerous to me.

          At least it warns you very strongly before you do that, and if you follow the rule of never rewriting history that's been pushed to a remote than you can at least get back to where you were last Tuesday, or whenever. But for some reason Git "experts" seem to think that capability is really cool, and delight in pushing copious and entirely inappropriate examples of how and when to do it on novices, particularly on places like Stack Overflow

                  It was his second to last day. It could have been sabotage...

                      You should create it as a segment on Strava and see if you can beat your time.
