Good. That was one of the design goals for git (ie the "you know you can 
trust the data" thing relies on very strong protection at all levels, 
even in the presense of disk/memory/cpu corruption).

I think we have a pretty good record on this: the only real git-induced 
corruption I can remember was the embarrassing bug with use-after-free of 
the CRLF auto-translation. But let's not get complacent.
