I wonder if there is a way to unsquash the commits? Will it help with
reviewing this PR?

In this particular pull request, I think the submitter has rebased
their commit, and force-pushed it. These days, I notice Git Hub seems
to forget old commits pretty soon after you force-push the branch they
are on. I don't think you can "unsquash" them retrospectively; you
would need a copy of the old commits saved somewhere.

Other times people add revised commits on top of their old commits,
which would have been easier for me in this situation, but I suspect
that makes it harder for the person pushing the final change if they
have to squash it into a single commit. (I noticed the eventual commit
message is often messy, redundant, automatically generated, etc.)

I was under the impression that the green [commit] button would do the squashing. Or at least that it could.
