Here's an interesting post about git rebasing:

What's rebasing?

manual.html#using-git-rebase
Pretty scary stuff, if you ask me. Where I work we never, ever, ever
re-work our history (SVN), so we always have all commits forever, no
matter what. Even branching/merging mistakes are in history forever,
just in case. We just fix whatever the mistake was in new commits
moving forward.
git rebasing, or any such repo trickery scares me. Anyone doing this,
or equivalent admin magic in their repo?
