I use commit history a little bit more than that, but mostly agree. I had another dev recently give me crap about the mess of "WIP" commits on a feature branch because they review by clicking through the commits and my commits don't tell much of a useful story other than I apparently did some shit and eventually it all worked.

That said, I've also come to the conclusion there's basically two classes of Git users: people who really understand Git and use it fully, and those of us who basically use it as a place to shove source code before quitting for the night.
