That may sound very impolite but last thing I want to care about
are "less Git-savy" people that refuse to learn. Resetting local
tracking branch is common part of normal git workflow. It is not
even advanced stuff. When I am speaking about "anything" I imply
"anything released / deployed" - there is no practical value in
adhering to local development branch history other than removing
requirement to be familiar with `git reset` basics. If someone
among developers participating in 2.065 is not familiar with it,
it is a major problem in those developers, not in git flow.
I am continuously outraged by the fact that someone may find
acceptable to willingly ignore one of most important tools
involved in development / release process.
