> Rewriting history is far more common with git

How do you mean? It's impossible. You git push something, and then you leave an immutable trail that someone somewhere may have cloned so even if you were to force push or delete you can't erase it. Assuming it was of any importance and someone was watching (but if not of any importance, then no big deal to force push/delete).

Saying something is immutable because someone may have saved an old copy before you mutated your own copy sounds very fragile to my ears.

If you push to GitHub it won't delete it

If you force push to github, the original commit (if not tagged or given a branch name) is absolutely de-referenced and may not be recoverable.
