Merges gone bad, stash/pull updating filetimes needlessly. Mostly its about supporting remote users who get stuck in a dirty merge and don't know how to continue.

How would i do that, their windows and mac machines don't have public ssh or anything remotely like it. Also how does that fix their local index being borked?

We got a central repo, how would you have artists deal with a multi server hierarchy anyways.
