On the other side of the coin I hate looking at git blame to find a bunch of now irrelevant stuff, like fixes to code that were only ever in your branch. I don’t generally care about the discoveries you made along the way (at least not in commit form) unless I’m doing the review for it to go in the main branch, and even then it’s more of a curiosity than anything particularly relevant to software quality.

I wanted "squash merge" to work for me to handle this. Full history in the feature branch for detailed git blaming and a single 1000-line merge commit in main with "New Checkout Flow" but i never fully groked getting it to work when you are merging upstream branches into you feature... You end up taking credit/blame for the upstream commits on main and I feel like you could overwrite the real history of that.
