It would be nice to have test cases documenting known failures. Then
people could decide whether these cases are important for their work,
since I don't think it's actually possible to loose data this way.

Personally I've been unsuccessful in trying to recreate failures, but
that is probably just an indication of my inability to use git
correctly:-)
