Incorrect how? Incorrect in that it doesn't reflect the exact way that history was constructed locally? Spoiler: it rarely does. Every —amend, every usage of a queue (MQ, Quilt, …), every patchbomb sent to a mailing list means the history recorded won't exactly reflect the way it was created. And that's for the better: history should be crafted for sense, not for useless historical correctness.
