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).

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.
