Git's experimental history command adds commit rewriting
Git's new experimental `history` command introduces `fixup`, `reword`, and `split` subcommands for rewriting commits while automatically rebasing dependent local branches. The feature aims to bring some jj-style workflow benefits to core Git, with atomic operations that avoid leaving the repository in a broken state, though it currently does not support merge commits or conflicted rewrites.
