If it's important enough to be committed, it's important enough to be remembered.

Do you make the same judgment about saving files? If it's important enough to be saved to the filesystem, it's important enough to be remembered forever?

What about general edits in your editor? If it's important enough to have been typed so undo in my editor works, it's important enough to be part of the project history so someone else can see my typos when they're (as I've heard used as an argument for why you should never squash commits) tracking down a bug they can figure out the train of thought that led to that work?

What about rewriting a topic branch before merging it?
