today I'm thinking about the tradeoffs of using `git rebase` a bit. I think the goal of rebase is to have a nice linear commit history, which is something I like.

but what are the *costs* of using rebase? what problems has it caused for you in practice? I'm really only interested in specific bad experiences you've had here -- not opinions or general statements like “rewriting history is bad”
