    Why would you want to edit your commit history? When I need to look at it for some reason, I want to see what actually happened, not a fictional story.

      Because when debugging, you typically don’t care about the details of wip, some more stuff, Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master', almost working, Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master', fix some tests etc. and would rather follow logical steps being taken in order with descriptive messages such as component: refactor xyz in preparation for feature, component: add do_foo(), component: implement feature using do_foo() etc.
