Terseness is not at all the only advantage. As I've said before, you can 
reason about them, compare them, and get a general idea of "where" they are 
in the history. I don't think merging or "changing the past" conflict with 
that. And I'm really not seeing any non-trivial disadvantages.

What? Are you actually trying to claim that defending/promoting one's own 
idea when another idea exists is a *bad* thing? Seriously?

If we're going to go that absurd route, I can just make up the claim people 
are ganging up on me for having an idea that just happens to be different 
from Git's world-view. If Git does something one way then that *must* be the 
best way, right? Anything else is obviously just heresy, right? Bring on the 
stakes and torches, we're going to Salem!!
