It's the different history: take %changelog as NEWS
and commit messages as CHANGELOG.  The latter is for
developers while the former is for users (sysadmins).

And for a given package there's sense to make sure
its git history *is* linear.

See e.g. http://git.altlinux.org/gears/r/rpm.git
(which is an archived version of what got into packages
built -- while individual maintainers can have widely
different intermediate trees published, the inheritance
is enforced by the build system).
