Ok, that makes sense. > I’m not quite sure I understand your comment though - it implies that you consider linear history to be a strange and/or non-default thing to do. Sometimes you get a branch, I get them even on personal projects if I forget to push and work on a different computer. I've heard people say that, when they do get a branch, they will rebase to make the history linear instead of having a merge. I don't think that is default.
