People who need "edit and continue" probably need developer tests
instead. You typically edit the test a little, run all the code, edit
the code a little, run all the code, and integrate whenever the code's
a little better and all the tests pass.

To avoid debugging, if the tests fail unexpectedly or mysteriously,
you just 'git reset --hard HEAD'. Your bug disappears. Better than a
debugger!
