I often come back to a local repository to change something and think, while I'm at it, I'll just `git pull` and end up with a non-working working directory. Surely I should know better, but I think it's also hostile to users, when the easy thing to do is often the wrong thing to do.

Even worse, I'm not sure I correctly remembered the weird combination of actions and flags to use to get back to the state where I can continue with what I wanted to do in the first place.

That article is a good example of the problem. It tells me `git rebase` is an easy thing to do but I better not use that distributed VCS to publish my work that way, where 'publish' probably also applies to different machines of mine.
