Yes, I understand. The reason that I disagree is because of the number of times that having greater granularity than that has been enormously valuable.

In my opinion, a VCS should maintain a history of all commits, because it's impossible to know which commits will be the key to solving a problem in the future. Even commits that are later reversed can occasionally be of tremendous value.

A truly great VCS would allow you to do a "visual squash", hiding the intermediate commits unless you need to see them.
