I've seen this opinion espoused by others and I just don't understand it. I'd never ever use a VCS anymore that didn't let me "rewrite history". "git filter-branch" has saved me many hours of commit-work on multiple occasions--I just can't see why not having those kind of tools is considered a good thing. Bzr is adamantly anti-amend and now the main Emacs repo has 10 megs of binary junk in the history that some developer accidentally checked in and pushed one day. Tell me why that is a good thing?
