Of course I do: it's prettier. My problem is that I don't see the
advantages that the other approach brings, I only see that it takes away
the prettiness.

Org's git history doesn't look complex at all: the commits are pretty
much synchronous and applied to master and maint at the same time.
Basically, Org's history is already linear, it's just hard to see it
behind the ugly bookkeeping.
