If you like it so much, go ahead and use them.
But stop with the crazy excuses for the downsides. I explained exactly
why amending is stupid and wrong, and why empty commits are f*cking
moronic. But even apart from the *technical* problems with the stupid
mis-designed feature, I explained why it was fundamentally broken from
a workflow standpoint too.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't use them - go ahead and use the
feature if you like it. But please spare me your excuses for stupid
workarounds that come from the fact that they aren't a good match for
sane workflows.
