Sure, I sometimes messed up with git, but a git reset , checkout, rebase or filter-branch (In the extreme cases) normally fixes it, but real issues are very rare. And I use git a lot... But only the CLI, maybe people have issues with GUIs?

Funny those are commands I avoid.. They all have to do with editing history which I know there is a vocal group here that loves "clean" history but that isn't what happened.

sure merge full features so you can roll back a feature.. And if something is really off I might start from a snapshot commit and cherry pick/merge a bunch in but usually history is histoy.. If submitting to a public project I may make a new branch with the cleaned version but why edit in line. That is risking issues.
