> If you screw up a squash merge, you can still check out the intermediate commits if you know the hash.

if you're going to store commit hashes externally instead of using the reflog then it makes no difference whether you use rebase, merge, or even cherry-pick or reset.

also, sudo itself poses no risk; it's much more important to evaluate what you're running, instead of a blanket restriction on what is just another tool. if I run "cd /; rm -rf *" on my desktop, it doesn't really matter whether I'm running as root or as my user, I'm going to have a bad day. "curl | sh" is equally as dangerous as "curl | sudo sh".
