      People inexperienced with git can get stuck after doing some funky checkout / rebase stuff. If you don’t know your way around git so well, I guess this is the obvious solution.

      It does sometimes happen that something in there just breaks and isn’t easy to recover. But it can also be a matter of (inexperienced) devs just deciding, fuck it, I won’t try to merge it, I’ll just copy my changes elsewhere and throw away the repo.
