E.g. if I forgot one of five commmits, then this is not visible in the history; but "git blame" would lead to the original author. 

Yes, as mentioned in the other thread, rebase -i provides a better
interface here, since it lists all unmerged commits, and allows you to
remove those you don't want, and rearrange or even combine related
commits, without the risk of forgetting some commit.
