Was digging through a project at work today where some guy in 2014 made 100+ commits in a single day and the only one that had a comment said "upgrading to v4.0".

Maybe my explanation was complicated, but what I describe is not time consuming. It takes at most a few minutes to do all of the things I mentioned. The difficult part is discipline of keeping refactoring separate. Once that's done, the rest is trivial. And not all work include refactoring. That's even easier then.

Discipline is definitely tough. I have tried looking at rebasing tutorials and it always looked pretty tedious to do, hence my comment about time constraints. I should really give it another try though.

Interactive rebase is used to organize (squash, drop, reorder) commits and with some experience is totally painless. Would definitely recommend watching a few videos about it.
