Sometimes. SOMETIMES. You get lucky, and that destructive sync still leaves enough info in the reflog to roll back the head to the right location.

God knows I had to deal with self inflicted versions of such a decade back...

Now I (sadly) have no version control whatsoever, except daily backups and "I should save a copy of this and bump my minor rev number..." to keep me sane. Hah.

Gotta love proprietary binary save formats, compressed single file XML bundles, and fishing the records room for the ONE licensed copy of xyz.abc.soft from 1999 that will read that format... Then finding it needs NT4...
