The crazy thing to me having made the change is how utterly fearless I am doing long chains of that I would have double- or triple-checked with git. Reordering commits, fixing an earlier commit, even doing these things with multiple unmerged ancestor branches… are all trivial. I don't even have to think about it. There's no case where I'm dumped into a conflict state that must be resolved right here and right now (and where I don't even get to use any of the tools in my VCS until I fix it).

It's so fucking freeing.
