That's an interesting response given that I spent quite a few words talking about how great `git blame`, `git bisect`, `git rerere`, and `git branch --contains` are and why rewriting history breaks them. Was it tl;dr? Or did I not get my point across effectively?

You didn't explain why rewriting local, private history breaks any of those things unless you keep your local, private branches around indefinitely in un-rewritten form. If I rebase, it replaces my previous branch, not extends it. `git rebase` only breaks bisection if you are using it incorrectly (on public commits).
