To illustrate, just the other day I had to track down a change in Boost.Filesystem so that I could tell a user when a bug appeared in the code and when it was fixed. I was able to do that, both in terms of Boost realeases and commits with their respective commit messages and dates, because I had a fine grained history with tags. I was able to track down the particular PRs, if I had to. I think, this is an important feature of the detailed git history.
Right - but couldn't you have done that with the develop History?
No, because release tags are applied to the commits in master that are used to ship a Boost release.
