No, you don't commit trash to a public branch, EVER, if you can help it. Your commits are as perfect as you can make them, and that does not mean squashed in a trash compactor. That means one logical idea per commit, compiles and works as perfectly as you can make it. Use stgit, and this is easy. You do not break git bisect. No need to squash your trash in a trash compactor. Your standards are lower than mine, not higher.
