I suppose the major notion is that the history is not lost, it's just
not accessible as easily in a (deleted) branch as in the continuous
trunk. For philiophical or ethical wrongs I would think it all depends
on how interesting or important history of either trunk or branch or
both or even in general is to the respective
user/team/company/project.

"Your friend Mr. Lincoln had his Taylors and Paines.
So did every other man who ever tried to lift his thought up off the ground.
Odds against them didn't stop those men, they were fools that way.
All the good that ever came into this world came from fools with faith like that.
You know that, Jeff. You can't quit now. Not you ...
You didn't just have faith in Paine or any other living man.
You had faith in something bigger than that.
You had plain, decent, everyday common rightness.
And this country could use some of that.
Yeah, so could the whole cock-eyed world. A lot of it."
