Maybe we're saying the same thing.  When there's a big feature, it's helpful
if it's broken out into logical, self contained commits because:

A. You can see the logical progression of the feature
B. It's easier to review small, self-contained patches.

For small changes or bug fixes, it doesn't make sense to have a bunch of
commits - there's a single logical commit in that case.

Now, if there are multiple commits merged in via a pull request, can't you
just revert the whole lot by reverting the merge commit?
