Git gives you granular control of every aspect of itself. When you REALLY need it, it works out. Insane history rewrites make the full team have to propperly sync. Rebase is an amazing tool for getting your repo up-to-date and not making someone else when looking through history have to worry about mix-matching commits to see exactly how one branch turned out. Its personal prefernece. In the end of the day, git will not let you cover your tracks.

Anecdote:

I fucked up some commits. I put in wrong conmiter names and so on, omitted some data in some of my commits. With git I could clone my repo, experiment with rewriting commits to fix conmiter names, and then merge it to everything. Yes history is changed, but end of the day this is not about hiding shit. This is about keeping the repo information useful and simple. If you want to blame shit on people, there are external systems which will ensure that people will get blamed for their own shit. VCS is not for that, VCS is to version your code, be able to un-fuck yourself up, and figure out why someone did something and how they did it exactly at some point in time. Nowhere in the is "blame people for mistakes" seen.

I've seen people not want to get blamed or use VCS. They used a word document to version their source. Yes. And I assure you it took people lots of time to realize wtf is going on.
