It is very well possible that it was coded poorly ;-) The main reason, I believe, was that some old-timers who know the implications said that it would encourage a wrong workflow. One thing that could go possibly wrong, for example, is to rebase commits that you already published. So AFAICT it was deemed not only giving people rope, but making that rope look like a necklace to them. Ciao, Dscho
