I find it easier to read linear history.

  Could that be because if the history isn’t linear then it’s difficult to read, precisely because of the reasons given above, which would mean you have the same problem but you’ve simply decided to avoid it via a (legitimate) workaround and not complain. That wouldn’t make the complaint invalid though.

    I have to admit I don't fully understand the problem as originally formulated. I've never had trouble figuring out what's going on in a Git repository. I do agree that GitHub's interface for these things is anemic. As for that part, I typically squash-merge on GitHub and that links to the PR, which is good enough for me.

  And that goes for this Fossil too. When I look at the SQLite timeline, I see confusing swimlanes. I can't make heads or tails out of some of it.
