In branch based development you do have both, in your branch. But if you’re working with other people, do they want your undo log? Is there any value to your undo log in say 10 years? The git repo on the main branch is your shared artifact, and as a matter of good practice is should be treated a shared resource that’s presentable to all, presents an easily understood and consumed interface, and is free of individual noise. If you want an undo log for your work on X, then when you merge your branch with main, don’t delete your branch. But the shared artifact shouldn’t be filled with everyone’s individual work process artifacts.
