@richardstephens ooh, how would you do that?

@hikari Instead of actually squashing, generate an empty commit with metadata that indicates "treat the past 7 commits as one squashed commit". Even better, bisect, could know to jump between only squashed commits.

@richardstephens honestly it sounds to me like what you want are actual merges

@hikari You could also make an "amended" commit actually a branch that's hidden from most of the UI. Both of these solutions would be backwards compatible too, although I freely admit to not having thought through all the implications.
