Since I'm very interested in this topic, can you link me to some key discussions you remember? Most of what I've found is Stefan Xenos having a take on implementing it. Also, I read some discussions on tools trying to record rebase history such as git-series, available on GitHub. > 3.

Hi all, Seeing this post really encourages me to try my best and tackle this issue. The main reason I'm interested in this is that such a feature encourages people to craft very high quality commit history. It's a great relief to see people discussing the topic, since I've looked over the web and did not find much talk about it so far. I want to contribute but since it's a big feature proposal with project-wide consequences and not some simple bug fix, I'm not sure where to start. Do you guys have any tips? Anyway, I think part of the deal of making this feature materialize is to raise awareness, so if anybody reading this is onboard, please share Thanks! Noam
