> The most important benefit of preserving the history is being able to go to an exact state of the program in the past. No one's talking about ever getting rid of any commit ID that got checked into `main` or `master`.

From my reflog, I see this commit ID: `21b9f2e HEAD@{28}: commit: Fix and instrument nstray URL problem` No one needs to know about my typo - ever.
