SUCCESS! Rebasing gives huge monolithic commits with overly-simple
explanations that explain nothing after you're dead and gone.  Topic
branches collect your hundreds of commits into a narrative describing all
the challenges you faced and design decisions you implemented.  I love
having lots of commits so when I go back and say "why did I write that
crazy-ass piece of code?" I can do a git blame and find the commit
describing the obscure but important corner case said code correctly
handles.


Perhaps we can just agree to disagree =]
