There's nothing wrong in being cautious or frightened when you use
sophisticated software.  I'm personally frightened whenever I build a
complex package with GCC.

But that doesn't mean the tools we use cannot do a good job in doing
what we expect.  "C-x v v" never let me down in the many years I use
it.  (I don't use it with Git, because it's basically useless in that
case.)
