See, that's where he and we fundamentally disagree. My view, your
view, git's view, and hg's view, is that all files in a repo are
intrinsically linked - that "checking out an intermediate revision"
means checking out that revision across the entire source tree.
Marko's view is that you check out an intermediate revision of the one
failing file. In my experience, you can't always say which is the
failing file, and even if you can, you can't just check out an old
version of that file and expect it to work with the new versions of
everything else, because there WILL be parallel changes - and lots of
them.
