b is not a fork, nor is it abandoned. think of it as math. The delta a-c is
equal to the sum of a-b and b-c. You can hide b and think in terms of a-c
just fine. The only complication is if other branches derive from b. but
that is up to the user to think carefully and mean what they say when they
hide stuff.
