I keep flip-flopping on this. At first, I was going to reply and say "No, allowing 'ignore' is bad because it just means continuing to work within a corrupted state. Only bad things can come from that." Then I realized, "If the artist had a bunch of unsaved work when the error occurred, it's possible the state might still be good enough for them to save their work. No point in denying them that for the sake of purity. If it results in a corrupted save, well...they *are* using version control, aren't they?" But my current thought now is: Shouldn't there just be some sort of journaling or auto-save or some such? That would eliminate the need, and temptation, to work through a corrupted state. No doubt I'll flip-flop again...
