i don't know how people can build something and leave behind a coherent series of commits that tell a nice story of progressively building a thing.

my commits include lots of false-starts that get abandoned and "i need to commit this interim state because i deprioritized this and will come back later".

the sequence of events that i used to build the thing isn't necessarily the best sequence of events to tell the story of what the final thing is.

sometimes you can get a good story by stacking PRs, but if the stack gets too deep you can end up with some rebase nightmares.
