That shouldn't happen but it happens. KDevelop crashes f.ex. when you
change git branch or when you do KDE shutdown: that's not me, who does
something illegal, I guess. In most cases database gets broken when
git branch is changed. I mean symbols become dull (unjumpable) and it
even doesn't start to reparse, you have to do it manually. Sometimes
it works correctly, but rarely (I would not call it satisfactory).
Branch with relatively big changes breaks database for sure. The truth
is: KDevelop is not production-ready for serious development.
