Right, you’ll definitely think twice about committing early and often if commits are suddenly etched in stone. Feels like the wrong incentive/message for a VCS.

Right, you’ll definitely think twice about committing early and often if commits are suddenly etched in stone. Feels like the wrong incentive/message for a VCS. That said, I believe Fossil may be better equipped to explore a presentation layer that users have control over, and separately examine commit history when needed. Git wasn’t designed that way. I don’t agree with Fossil’s dogmatic stance on git, but Fossil might be workable in the sense that your history of noisy throwaway work can be mostly muted. I think?
