thanks for --squash. So --squash is basically a 'suck multiple deltas
from another branch into ., but don't commit it'. I very often use that
way of work flow. I do small and many commits, and when I am done I
merge them to one a bit bigger one and submit it upstream. I useally use
'one branch per feature'.
