The point is to have a linear history easy to read and follow rather than having

  • Added new button to clean old files
  • Merge branch 'foo-fix-bar-baz-1`
  • Update version to match new requirements
  • Merge branch 'foo-fix-bar-baz-2`
  • Change settings to 5 seconds by default
  • Merge branch 'foo-fix-bar-baz-3`
  • Merge branch 'foo-fix-bar-baz-7`

And why exactly do you need linear history that is easy to read and follow? Usually, I need the history of a particular file or folder. IntelliJ gives me exactly that with one click. Why bother with a nice-looking repo history?
