The shock of the engine revving to red line violently when might warn you in time before you make the mistake of choosing the wrong gear, which may be what you meant.
The OPs mistake was skipping gears, he should have gone 6-5-4, 6-4 is not only risky, its more work for the synchros and can wear them faster.

SSummit and HDRDTD, you guys both misread my post. With rev match on, the car will cut fuel as soon as you DEPRESS THE CLUTCH AND SHIFT INTO THE WRONG GEAR, if the driver has any sense, he WILL NOT RELEASE the clutch until the mis-shift is corrected, PREVENTING A MECHANICAL OVER REV.
You can not over rev the engine with the clutch pedal depressed. Rev match will let you know you ****ed up before you even release the clutch.
