That seems to me the ideal: preserve all revision history for those cases when some user will care about it, but present history cleanly by default. Seems to me the basic problem here is the way Mercurial presents you with a big pile of changesets and not much way of imposing any structure on them. There should be a hierarchy of changesets, so you can look at the top level and get the big picture, while being able to drill down into the details when you need to.

That’s one way of saying “Mercurial should be Bazaar” .

Bazaar apparently has a notion of mainline whereas Mercurial believes that all changesets are created equal. The tools are different.
