Code merges are made by reviewers in my org, not by the author.

Spend time educating your team about `git commit --amend` and `git push --force` on their own branches and you don't have to see any of that ugliness.

Squash merges have two upsides:

1. I don’t have to see that ugliness. 2. Nobody has to force push and micro manage commits.

If I recall correctly most code forges will add co-author trailers if someone other than the author squash merges.
