We all have been there... For the beginner it's easy to mess things up. What are your horror stories with Git?

Yeah, remember the giant merge conflicts I had to deal with because of our lack of experience with git. One really learns how useful it is to split stuff into files with git. Also the headache of line breaks and case-sensitive paths.

No horror stories to tell, though. We all got through our first git learning experience without any major accidents. Once we had to re-up the remote repository from a dev machine, that was it.
