I'm not against that; I understand that teams of projects want to organize what their "VCS history" looks like. What I meant is that (by now) git has only one way of providing such "clean trees": destroying the history. So, for that win (clean the trees at will), there is a forced work pattern: lose the history. For me the advantadges are less than the disadvantages. I think both can be achieved, in a VCS. For what I understand, Monotone has quite nice solutions to that. One thing is clean *visualisation* (or easy access, whatever), the other is modifying the raw historical data at the back. Git offers tools to manipulate the historical data, in order to achieve some visualisation.
