This workflow is too advanced for me. My commits are usually garbage like "fix 
pipeline", and often contain notes on what I was doing and what I still need 
to do. If I was maintaining a clean history, that wouldn't be possible.

Others of you give me the impression that we are looking for perfect 
developers who never make mistakes. That's not me, so there seem to be 
different opinions.

Is it possible to make the default configurable for each user? Then I could 
simply check "Squash by default" and all my MRs are how I want them.
