Re: Bizarre missing changes (git bug?)

Did you try it? It really shouldn't be any simpler than anything else. And 
I dismissed what you wrote because the example you _did_ state was about 
something else entirely (ie apparently some giggle bug that simplifies 
things incorrectly).

What did I do wrong that you rebuff me based on this secondary problem 
(which I'm quite aware of, because it was me who mentioned in first place) 
and giving the primary problem (which is the missing history) no 
attention?

It's not missing history. It's all there in --full-history. The default is 
to give a reasonable simplification, and I told you what the 
simplification was, and it's perfectly conceptually fine - AND IT IS MUCH 
MORE EFFICIENT than the alternatives.

So I'm not seeing your point what-so-ever. 

My point is:

 - with full-history, you have it all, but it's useless in practice

 - without full-history, it's useful in practice

You never gave any examples otherwise.
