Hi Torben,

Was that meant as sarcasm (kill the git hitory) or seriously - allow
upsteam to cherry-pick easily?

I rarely use rebase and only on local topic branches that have never
been pushed to a public repo. It changes the history and will cause
problems to anyone who has pulled that branch before.

Since you are a git guru, could you please elaborate?

TIA,
robin
