@hmcl @HeartSaVioR : perhaps we can take this offline? (I admit to being
guilty of starting this discussion in these PRs.)
I am not grasping the actual problems that you encounter that make
squashing so important. I have read everything you wrote here and in the other
thread where we discussed it. But I still cannot see what *exactly* is the
problem for you, nor why all these other big projects have gone to this
information-losing approach. All commits of a PR *are* bunched together. They
can all be referenced as a group in `git revert` or `git cherry-pick`. Please
note I do appreciate that you are willing to allow for divergence from a strict
"squash all the things" standard when it is valuable.
NOTE: I abhor super noisy PRs that merge tons of bug-fixy commits,
especially since that encourages bad commit messages as people usually quickly
write "fixed foo" with no details when they are iteratively committing. So
it's a bit uncomfortable to find myself defending *not* squashing.
