git panic
Not sure about that rebase, merge or pull? Worried that listening to Kenny Loggins while you work might hose the repo? Don't let this happen to you.
Now whenever you get nervous, just push the 'git panic' button and breath deeply, you can always restore from a tarball. Good ole tar.
Extra points if you hook it up to a red button on your keyboard.

git config --global alias.panic '!tar cvf ../git_panic.tar *'
