Whenever a question arose about a recommended workflow from someone who 
claims not to understand Git well, the recommendation always came in the 
form "use merges, not rebase". Which is a good suggestion, I think.

A well-done rebase is indistinguishable from a "normal" branch, so of 
course there is no point in prohibiting their use.
