    To a degree, if pull requests are small enough, then yes.

    Often, a changeset includes different aspects and concerns though, and individual commit messages allow you to document and reason them. Squashing makes you lose the concern separation.

    When reviewing, even relatively simple changes separated into their concerns helps me a lot.

    It’s a matter of preference and necessity, and the changeset and it’s environment at hand.

      Not squashing before review, squashing on merge (i.e. after review). Squashed merges make these easy, regardless of whether the original commits in the pull request were messy:

      • determining what changed between versions
      • finding and reverting regressions
