For example, if you have a really_important_repo that you don't want to screw up, but you need to do a potentially destructive thing to it, just do, $ cp -r /path/to/really_important_repo ~/test $ cd ~/test && git destructive and you find out whether your mental concept of what "git destructive" does is correct or not without possibly losing your work. -- Ian Hilt Ian.Hilt (at) gmx.com GnuPG key: 0x4AFC1EE3
