> You had to write code that you're literally deleting the commit after you added it. Why bother? I'm unconvinced that the history of "do it", "oops fix it" is more useful when doing archaeology than "do it right the first time".

My suspicion is that people are using rebasing to clean up their prior commits as they go instead of just getting everything working and then breaking the work up into commits, if needed. And this is also how they work themselves into horrible knots trying to figure out what they did to hose their branch.
