I get the impression from this thread that core Git developers don't make visualizing the repository a regular part of their development workflow. Is that accurate?

Is there really no rationale that anyone can offer for why you do things this way? I look to Git's own Git repo for best practices, and given Git's emphasis on "history hygiene" I'm certain that there are reasons for why you do things the way you do. Josh
