No, we're not talking about the final timeline. That is finalised when (or if) code is merged to the mainline. We're talking about what happens when the command "git commit" is executed.
Ok, if you're talking about just WIP commits that will be squashed and will never be part of mainline, then shrug.
For me that's a tiny proportion of commits. I'd rather avoid taking a whole finished feature branch and then spend more time cleaning up a sloppy commit history.
