My argument was that the only cases where going through unfiltered chain of WIP commits is somewhat valuable are well served by browsing through your reflog. I don't see any value in peeking at other people's unfinished stuff (unless doing something like pair programming or teaching). Any decisions that are worth noting go into commit messages anyway. That "archaeological evidence" has, in general, no reason to leave the local machine at all.
