Scrollback is a very useful feature for someone like me who has to make several tries to get the entire line typo free! (BTW this feature is not found in Windows command line mode.)

Yep, this is an issue that's annoyed me too :)  I'm sure this could be tweaked 
so that exception causing commands are still saved in command history.  Of 
course, if anyone else wants to make a patch... :)

The Clothing directory which I dumped already has 440 files in it, so it sure would be nice to identify any bad files so they can be fixed.

Good idea.  Unfortunately, it's not a straightforward fix since only missing 
asset uuids are currently saved but it would be a helpful thing to have.
