History is immutable ONCE it’s merged. Prior to that, it’s malleable. We rewrite our branch history fairly often. I’ll take a big PR that’s ready, and rewrite the history in a way that tells clear story. This lets me stack PRs so it’s easier for coworkers to digest the work. It hides the messy reality of how it was constructed. It lets the development process follow evolutionary design, without review being miserable at the end of the day. This also makes git-blame 6 months later way more useful, as the commits end up much tidier with better messages and clearer story being told.
