What? Of course it is. Commit as many times as you want, branch when testing out a segment of code, do all the fancy things you need to do - then clean it all up when you're done.

You could say "What? Of course one can walk with hands, I haven't bought a pair of shoes for years."

Just because it "works for you" doesn't mean it's sensible or efficient.

You're framing my train of thought as unnecessary or atypical and that's dishonest.

There is no downside to having more granular revision history. It's important to recognize that, not necessary to follow, though.

Rest assured, anyone not committing (or stashing) often and squashing down is doing it wrong.
