I don't care about how many typos you made while developing a thing. I only care about your upstream's history not getting re-written, but I don't care to see your dev history -- it's a distraction at best.



this reply is way too late, but yeah, I get that you don't care. I don't care either.

But if the developer stored that information in a commit, and there is a cheap (computationally and cognitively) way to keep that information, then I don't want to delete it.

It's not charitable for you to call it a distraction at best. There might be useful information available in the dev history. You shouldn't be forced to see it (that would be distracting), but you shouldn't be precluded from seeing it either.
