Yeah. My workflow in Git centers on the index, and making lots of commits on local branches that will never get pushed. I spend a day working, rewrite history, stash a bunch of unrelated changes on temporary branches, and then send a couple commits on the main branch for code review. When I used Mercurial for work, it felt surreal to have all of those weird little workflows get locked away behind plugins. I get how Mercurial is way easier for people starting out, and I also get that I could just use the plugins, but when I use Git, all those history-rewriting tools are right there where I want them.
