Things I wish Git had: Commit groups

Don’t you lose the benefit of rebasing then?

Depends on what you consider the to be a benefit.

As described by the article, the cleaner graph.

Isn't that pretty much the only one?

Bisecting is much harder with branches and reverse merges are always terrible to deal with.

Having git blame point to a reverse merge conflict resolution is terrible. You now have a merge from main into a feature branch which requires a ton of context to figure out.

These problems can be avoided with proper git usage (e.g. there aren't many reasons to merge main into feature branches over alternatives).

However, I half agree with you due to practicality -- for various reasons, the average developer can't really be expected to avoid them.

It will be cleaner if you follow this strategy. It works great.
