Okay, that's fine if the people here decided it was infeasible I can accept that. Sometimes I think we just solve the wrong problems and I was wondering if that was the case here. To me, many of the reasons you are favoring the rebase workflow is so that people can't accidently mess up a merge (and yes, it can keep the history cleaner). Places like the Linux kernel don't have that issue because people are effectively working in their own repo with a limited number of people actually merging up into develop and managing master. It also makes the scenarios that I was describing to Alex, code reviewing someone's changes, jumping back and forth in time, all more feasible. Without it, we really do have everyone pushing their branches back into the same repo, etc. and it does feel (as several people have pointed out) like a more complicated SVN. Just thinking aloud.
