It's the admin's job to be able to fix it, whether it broke because of a
user error, his own error, or a hardware failure. Besides, the admin
can _always_ 'rm -rf' the whole repository - that shouldn't even be part
of this discussion since it doesn't change one way or the other.

If your system relies on users never making mistakes, either you don't
have many users or you should expect it to be very fragile.
