I flip flop on this one, between retaining your contribution
explicitly and merging them in. Usually I squash them in, but this
felt substantial enough to retain explicitly. Worst case if someone is
unlucky they need to git bisect skip once. I guess next time I should
do a topic branch, apply it there on top of the pull, and then pull
that in so that it's both pretty history and no bisect hole.
