IMO the relevant 'true history' is at the plane of 'things relevant to other developers'. As far as anyone is concerned, my local work history is that I atomically wrote all my code in a single instant. Commits are that unit of atomicity. But I have never seen a commit disappear while rebasing, ever. That workflow is busted somehow. They were doing it wrong.
