The only thing that is true is that git users are more likely to use the ability to rewrite history than Mercurial users are, but you’ll typically find that people generally don’t do this on public branches, only on private branches.

And I would add that any reasonable git repository manager (why we are talking only about GitHub as if there was no cgit, gitorious, gitlab, gitblit, etc.?) can forbid forced-push so the history could be as sacrosanct as with Mercurial.
