> scary rebase -i commands that can leave your tree in a half-broken state if you so much as sneeze

I'm glad to hear it, I thought that was just me. It gets especially hairy when moving commits around...

Plus I have 3-way diffs enabled and I usually get confused by which section is which at least once a day.

Also: does anyone know if `magit` has history support?

Not as such, but out of the box you get reword and fixup as first-class rebase macros. I use them all the time.

If you wanted to split a commit you'd still have to use a magit-assisted rebase.

So if magit added explicit 'history' support I just about wouldn't notice, it would mostly be under the hood.

100% agree, the fixup macro is amazing. It even fails gracefully when unable to commit for whatever reason.

The split one would be handy though.
