It would make a wonderfully helpful tool less helpful.

I don't agree. Tool is tool. Every tool can be used in a wrong way.
A notice to documentation that some of functionality should be used very 
carefully should be enough.

Also, having a possibility to easy remove a changeset (hardly - not 
revert) without touching all other changesets on top is a function worth 
to include.

The problem there is that you -- again -- lie about the committers.  They 
_never_ saw, approved, or tested those commits.

If I changed portion of unpublished tree, as maintainer I can combine any 
patches and it might make sense to keep at least my commit dates for my 
reference.
