a word of warning

So I am testing a bit how well we do with making changes both on
Subsurface-mobile and Subsurface. I have not managed to currupt the
repository, yet, so I am NOT saying that anything is wrong with Linus'
patches - but I have managed to create quite a few scenarios where the
resulting data in the repository is NOT what I would have wanted or
expected.

I can create scenarios where needlessly changes on the desktop side are
thrown away by the mobile app.
I can create scenarios where trips get messed up... 

I haven't quite figured out WHAT is going wrong but since I hope that many
of you are testing git storage right now, based on Linus' request, and I
wanted to make sure you don't end up getting subtle issues in your dive
log...  Unless you manage to seriously damage your git repository (which,
again, I have not seen yet), none of this is fatal and no data should ever
get lost... but it may require some manual git interaction to get the data
back to where you started.

Feel free to create separate accounts on the server for testing.

/D
