But it _is_ something to worry about in some particular situations. For
run-of-the-mill rebasing, sure, ignore it. But this question usually
comes up because the user did something like:
1. import from foreign SCM or other source
2. realize massive, history-wide mistake; git filter-branch
to fix up the changes
3. wonder why git is using twice as much space as it needs to; with
a repository in the hundreds or thousands of megs, this can get
really annoying (either because of wasted space, or because some
operations, like "git repack -a" actually do per-object work).
