> To be clear: Fossil should not have malfunctioned. Yet even so, no work was lost as a result of the malfunction. The safety mechanisms built into Fossil did their job and uncommitted changes were preserved. The work was lost when Zed panicked and started entering a bunch of additional commands, in an attempt to recover, without stopping to think through what was happening. In fairness to Zed, I might well have done the same thing.
