What you have described is the equivalent of someone asking how to
safely use a match to check the level of gasoline in their
automobile. Most people are wise enough to be unwilling to speculate
about a "safe" way to do it.
Obviously it depends on how important your data is, but the best way
I know to lose data in a source control system is to decide to
decide not to follow the recommended backup procedure.

What people are saying is that you are taking a high risk of data
lose. It might work sometimes, but you should not expect it to work
all the time.
