We have a downstream project which regularly fetches from upstream.

I was looking at the git log history and see things like:

or things like

commit fee58d07abb07a47f1802ecfb8bc454294c5f1de

    Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/goautodial/v4.0

It would help if a series of commit messages could be squashed so that it becomes intelligible as a single atomic (working) change.

It is hard to follow how Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/goautodial/v4.0 does bring so may changes to branch 'master' of https://github.com/goautodial/v4.0 (presumably the same). The only thing I could imagine is that somebody might have forced-pushed to master? — that would be unfortunate since it removes the very minimal git guaranties I would expect as a downstream user from a master branch.

I hope this report might prompt you guys to reconsider your branching/merging policies.

Thanks for this great project! I'll expect to be able to contribute some stuff in the near future.
