Why not rebase instead of merge?

[David Terei]

doing this allows me when working to make commits more arbitrarily,
such that it suits my development flow. (e.g., a commit simply because
I'm changing from workstation to laptop). Fixing up after the work is
done can result in much nicer, more atomic commits. i.e., hindsight
and all that.
