Intermediate commits being snapshots of “broken” state isn’t a problem at all. When I quit for the day, I commit, broken or not, and pick it up in the morning. I want to be able to drop my laptop in a puddle and still pick up where I left off when I get a new one.

I think the problem is putting those broken commits into the trunk. Ideally you want to clean up your commits so if you need to revert you don’t accidentally break your build and so reading thru history isn’t awful.

Nobody anywhere suggested putting broken commits in trunk. This is why branches exist.
