> And do you seriously not see the need of rebasing? Rebasing isn't actually necessary, and there's a good argument to be made that you should never rebase. Fossil (the version control system used by the sqlite team) doesn't have any rebasing mechanism: https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wiki#history https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.w... (there are of course also very good arguments in favour of rebasing, but my point is simply that it isn't strictly necessary in a "complete" version control system)

Of course it isn't necessary. It's just extremely useful. Of course it rewrites history, and I abhor rewriting shared history, but it's extremely useful to be able to rewrite your own private history!

  > Of course it isn't necessary. Well....but you literally said above that there's a need for it. In a somewhat condescending tone. And now it's suddenly obvious that it's not necessary? Okay.

    It's possible to have a need for something even though that thing is not necessary. "Oh man, I really need a nice dinner right now" is impossible for you unless that dinner consists of the absolutely strictly minimum necessaries of nutrients in a gray tasteless slurry? Come on.

      And again, you could lose the condescending tone, thank you very much.
