Suppose a beginner like me who want to contribute to a bigger projects like org, wouldn't want put all his stupid, do/undo commits in the org main repository. So cleaning up(rewriting history) of his own branch with good commit messages and annotations would help maintainers to review the code. That also gives more sane look for someone who is coming back to see the commits years later. Thanks., -- YYR
