It made the work a bit easier, but it would've worked if it kept
running as well. But we didn't know it at the time.

Actually, it would've been more likely to cause conflicts for people I
think, since we would still have had to revert everything back to the
commit before the broken one anyway, and it would then affect more
files for those who had pulled a broken version.
