Please elaborate how this helps you in long-term branches, instead of just assuming long-term branches aren't something most people deal with on a daily basis.

This has no relation to long-term branches, this happens with any kind of normal history, and even shared history between repositories (which is a far messier thing to untangle). Yet this feature is unneeded, because the information can be correctly found within git in an accurate and not misleading fashion.
