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,
