Lol very apt!

A particularly handy command when you get stuck is the `git reset` 
family. If everything gets hosed you can return your branch to some 
previous (or future) point in history by going `git reset --hard REVNO` 
where REVNO is the hash of the commit you want to reset everything to. 
This will delete any modifications you've made in local, so often it's 
wise to do a `git stash` first if you have local modifications.

Cheers,

Chris.
