Why would you rewrite history? Don't be ashamed.
Rebase is awesome. Here's an example. http://michaeldehaan.net/post/116465000577/understanding-whe...
The problem with this question is that there are so many _different ways_ to use Mercurial. hg's core is fairly minimal and everyone I know who uses it rely heavily on core- and third party extensions to get any productive work done. Mercurial does a good job at facilitating everyone's favourite, yet obscure, workflow. There are people who prefer using things like mq (patchset queues), which until recently also was M…

GitLab CEO here, in GitLab you can protect branches to not be rebased at all (web or command line), see https://about.gitlab.com/2014/11/26/keeping-your-code-protec... I'm not aware that GitHub offers the same functionality.
On the page where the ssh finger print is listed, can you list the RSA finger print too? I am not well versed in working with git over ssh, but after following the instructions on GitLab to generate a key, then git would keep showing me the RSA finger print which doesn't match the one provided on the website. After looking around a bit, it looks like the one listed is ECDSA. tl;dr: It was late. Finger prints didn't m…

I don't believe the ability to rewrite history is a good idea. One of the reasons I like Fossil-SCM is that you can't rewrite history.
> Subversion uses a centralized revision control model. Ben Collins-Sussman, one of the designers of Subversion, believes a centralised model would help prevent "insecure programmers" from hiding their work from other team members. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion#Limitations_a... Sounds like you should be using Subversion then. Do you understand how history rewriting works in git? do you unders…
Note that there's a lot of social problems around DVCS, and the thing Ben worried about is still a _real problem_. I get potential contributors showing up with months of work, and it's an enormous pain in the ass (both for them to rewrite and for me to beg them to work with me) when they did something architecturally unacceptable early in the process that a simple 2 minute review could have caught.
