The question is not whether git is capable of doing this (there are
ways to accomplish this goal). The true question is: Do you really
want a linear history?

A linear history may look pretty, but at the same time you loose
information. In a big complex project that is also a dependency to
another complex project, a bit more ugly bookeeping may make
maintenance easier.
