Depends on the nature of the particular change, but looking at a merge request commit-by-commit is often much easier to grasp and find potential issues. I usually quickly scan the overall diff first and then proceed to look deeper at each commit. We're working on FLOSS projects where contributors (internal and external) are asked to split commits logically and that's how they end up in the final history. Most merge requests consist of just a couple of small commits, although sometimes there's a bigger and longer-lived branch where it is easier to just look at the diff as a whole (separate commits still massively improve bisectability though and I can't think of any real downsides of having them retained). |
