Basically the usual ones that end up with copying the modified files to a temporary directory and doing a fresh clone followed by a manual merge and commit, because someone messed up their local repository while trying out some git command beyond clone/pull/push/checkout/commit, and now cannot push without messing everyone's else.



Interesting; that never, ever, ever happens where I work, and most of our engineers are fresh-outs.


How often does this happen? Doing a fresh clone should be a last resort.


A couple of times per month, not everyone is a git black belt.
