Interesting post-mortem on a near disaster with git

Over the weekend, KDE came within a gnat's eyelash of losing *all*
their authoritative git repos, despite having seemingly-extensive
redundancy.  Read about it here:

We should think about protecting our own repo a bit better, especially
after the recent unpleasantness with a bogus forced update.  The idea
of having clones that are deliberately a day or two behind seems
attractive ...
