Re not checked into CVS (yet):
For just such an emergency, I have automated daily backups of all my "work" stuff. Overkill, but disk space is cheap, and "just in case".
I also published a "Cheap Mirror" utility that is a proof of concept (under Win32) for doing autobackups when a file is saved, essentially remembering multiple generations of a file.
More musings...
I don't like the "trash can" thing where files aren't really delted until I empty it. But, what might be worthwhile, I think, is a time-delayed delete. Move the file to a temp directory for a few minutes and then commit the deletion. That's long enough to catch such a mistake in the command-line, but stays out of the way better than a "trash can" file.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
