I made a habit of putting all my .ardour files in git when recording/mixing, and "git commit -a" as often as I would save.
Then when I'd do something stupid, like move a fader on a group, realize it was a group, hit UNDO, and then realize that undo doesn't undo fader moves, and then curse and grind my teeth-- a mistake I made constantly--, I could just go "git reset --hard" and get back to where it was.
