I'm not very experienced with git. I use `git rebase` to pull changes from a remote into my private repo in order to prepare pushing my changes. My understanding of rebase is that it takes a commit history with one parent and replays them all onto a different parent. So I don't understand how rebasing would destroy history. Could someone explain what the issue is?
