Interesting. I found this is decribed here: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/UsingGit Conceptually, using git rebase records an idealized, "fake" version of the history, and not what really happened. but if that's what you want... (I agree that for practical purposes the merge record is often irrelevant. Still I don't think they are annoying and wouldn't do anything to avoid them.) > I have to say using git on X.org has made a major difference once you > get over the initial UI problems...

(y or n) That's still too much for my little brain. ;-/ OK, "git help" tells a different story, but git still spills too much of its internals for my taste. But maybe it'll get fixed in git 2.0.
