Just yesterday I removed an obsolete doxygen tag from some 300 files and my Visual Studio went catatonic.

Well, I suspect it's not about Studio per se but rather the git integration but still. Someone avoided a "fancy algorithm" and wasted both my time and the product reputation with a "small n" workaround. Because, git is about small commits right?

I'd like to restate the first rule as "You can't tell where a program is going to spend its life".
