There are no known serious bugs, but if your usage patterns are
unusual, you may bump into problems no one reported yet.

The master branch might become broken by some commit, but that is
usually gets fixed within several hours.  So if you incidentally
update your repository before a bug is fixed, just back up to a
previous commit and wait for the problem to be fixed.

such a feature ;-)
