I've seen that as well over the last few weeks. It's also worth noting 
that different editors were affected differently, i.e. comparing the 
main editor with the one for SQL queries.

No, that's a version control system for you.

What would be helpful would be a scoring system: if any of the 
developers knows that he's just checked something in that might result 
in an inconsistency a branch (or tag etc.) gets bumped from green to 
amber, or to red if he knows there's something dodgy that will be fixed 
in a few minutes.
