It is indeed very easy to screw up with git. It is also easy to put
your local repository in a state from which you don't know to recover.
It isn't surprising anyway, as git is much more powerful than SVN (let
alone CVS). With greater power comes greater ways to mess everything up.

Anyway, enough of this, I really don't have the time to discuss the
merits of git vs SVN, others have done it already. The only thing I
keep in mind is that you would have been more likely to contribute
directly if we were using git. If a lot of other developers start
claiming the same, then who knows...

I've just applied your patch, thanks for your contribution.
