The last time we had this discussion the consensus bottom line was that you try to avoid rewriting history once you have pushed it to a place where others have access to it.

Once you've published it, let it go. Do not mess with history. I think we can all agree on that.

The disagreement is whether I should squish my commits before I push it and I put that in the same pile of questions as am I obligated to my significant other and society at large to shave my legs before going out in public.
