I love this comment. It reminds me of the times where I had been banging my head against a problem for a while, trying out different solutions, but none of the ones I came up with were any good. So I left it in a crummy state.

Then a few days/weeks latter I came back to it, and knew straight away how to solve it, and how bad all my previous attempts had been.

Or like the time I wrote a Makefile with the following rule:

    clean:
        rm -rf *.o myapp*

which was supposed to delete "myapp" and "myapp-old" or something. Unfortunately the source was also called "myapp.c"...

It's for just those sorts of situations (and a few other good reasons) that I use source code control on my local machine.
