True as you mean it. However, it is technically possible (especially
in git) to change *pointers* to shared history in a way that can
really confuse the tool. And in Bazaar and Mercurial it's even worse;
they don't provide reflogs or rerere, so you can really wedge things
if the rebase involves conflicts and the original branches have been
deleted.

I disagree, strongly. It's one of those things where most people most
of the time will quickly learn to do things safely, but it will save a
few people a lot of trouble.
