Rebase, or re-writing history, loses valuable information. I think it's the job of a VCS to preserve that information, and I avoid workflows that entail routinely losing information. Not to mention that re-writing a repository's history is inconsiderate to any downstream branches from the same repository. -- \ “Of course, everybody says they're for peace.
