I believe that I am on some level OCD and like things to be nice and neat but I think the the push that some people have for these linear histories on git take things way too far. It could be that I'm OCD on the other side of this in that I don't want to do things that modify or attempt to hide the messy realities of distributed development. I do merges, never squash, never rebase, and my tree may be busy but it's easy to follow. A linear history in my opinion only really works for small projects where development is actually linear.
