Yes and people countless times ignore that recommendation and do 
it anyways (for good reasons).  And then other users 
have to deal with these rebased trees somehow.

Anyways it is all solvable but right now ill supported
in standard commands and the documentation does not really
cover it. I was just asking (mostly for others to avoid
going through the same pain as me) for that to be improved
so that git becomes easier to use.

Sadly you guys don't even seem to want to recognize there
is a problem :-(
