Hi, It would be good to know what did Linus meant, when he said "and they will fail" about people, who would try changing some git projects' history (that is, the content, that is added already)? If I loose my repository completely, can I still know, that those contributions there are the same after I pull and how? What contents can be deleted, while still retaining consistency?

Regards, Kārlis
