_Normally_ I totally agree with you, Ian. But this was a special case:

The repo was corrupted like hell, the next member pulling from it would have left with a bad corrupted local repo. So everything had to be fast.
mattsches knew, that most of the people here who are able to react here fast are on twitter, so he wrote an "emergency tweet" there asking for help.

GitHub is one of so many social networks I am part of. It is a network I look into from time to time, but I am not informed about comments or changes there. The same goes for the s9y forum. I am not "always on" on all these networks.

But I'm nearly always connected to twitter, as it is on the mobile I have in my pocket always even when spending a nice evening with my wife and some cool DVDs like yesterday night. :D

So I think in this emergency situations twitter as an information service is the best way to get fast help from others. I know, at least mattsches and yellowled are nearly on always there, my coworker dahie (who is my git guru ;)) is on always there too.

But yes: I agree, I should have done some better documentation later on the situation happened. It was in my late evening, when I was relaxing with my wife and I simply did not think about that. I will do better next time. :)
