FWIW, I consider Git's solution to be unsatisfactory.
IMO, when we do a "rebase", Git should also keep the previous history, tho
only as a kind of "weak reference", so you wouldn't see that
"truthful&messy" history unless you cared about it: the rebased
revision wouldn't be enough to recover that messy history, but it would
be enough to relate the new revision with some past "messy" revision you
happened to have lying about.
