That may sound very impolite but last thing I want to care about 
are "less Git-savy" people that refuse to learn. Resetting local 
tracking branch is common part of normal git workflow. It is not 
even advanced stuff. When I am speaking about "anything" I imply 
"anything released / deployed" - there is no practical value in 
adhering to local development branch history other than removing 
requirement to be familiar with `git reset` basics. If someone 
among developers participating in 2.065 is not familiar with it, 
it is a major problem in those developers, not in git flow.

I am continuously outraged by the fact that someone may find 
acceptable to willingly ignore one of most important tools 
involved in development / release process.
