I disagree, IMO this is one of the most useful features of a vcs. This isn't usually rewriting history on a global scale (that is possible, but usually very dangerous) but instead only altering my local and unpushed commits. I use this for 2 different workflows: In one I have a WIP commit that I add to every time I am closer, and then break this up before pushing. The other I instead make a commit every time I get a step closer, and then squash them into logical commits before pushing. This gives me version control within an individual feature, although I guess you could achieve the same thing with branches and manually cping files around. I find a vcs constraining if it doesn't allow me the use of these workflows, YMMV Cheers, ~cjh
