Yes. And it should. It's your commit history, so it needs to be a history of your commits.
One day you'll find a commit labeled "removing comments" that breaks something because the dev palmed the trackpad while hitting the delete key and lopped off a line of code. You want that to be something you can find with a bisect.
It amazes me to see a bunch of discussion here from people arguing that one should throw away history so that some silly graph view is prettier.
History isn't meant to be pretty. It's meant to be history.
