Thank you very much for your thoughts, especially the specific commands etc. that I can show the team as reasons. === Re: === You can tell "git log" to only show one line of history too, but besides that, micro-details are good. You definitely want to be able to search the micro-details when things go awry (and they will), so you see exactly why some particular algorithm changed later. === end === Is there a way that someone (for example, product manager) can view only the main line consisting of topic merges, and not see each one separated by many many lines of detail changes?
