[Omaha.pm] Linus on git rebase

[Jay Hannah <jay@jays.net>]

Here's an interesting post about git rebasing:

What's rebasing?

manual.html#using-git-rebase

Pretty scary stuff, if you ask me. Where I work we never, ever, ever  
re-work our history (SVN), so we always have all commits forever, no  
matter what. Even branching/merging mistakes are in history forever,  
just in case. We just fix whatever the mistake was in new commits  
moving forward.

git rebasing, or any such repo trickery scares me. Anyone doing this,  
or equivalent admin magic in their repo?
