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.)

~$ git --version
git version 1.5.0.2
$ git<Tab><Tab>
Display all 139 possibilities? (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.


Thanks,
Johannes
