What is the argument here? Does it still hold if you s/rebase/comments/g ?

Of course a readable code history aids in debugging. Just as comments and indentation do. None of these are technically necessary, but still a good idea.

Of course running the rebase command doesn't guarantee a readable commit history, but it's hard to craft commits without it. Each and every commit on linux-kernel has been rebased probably a dozen times.
