Is it always true that you would squash and fixup in the same order
as these follow-up commits happened?
That is, if you did this (time flows from top to bottom):
1 A
2 B
3 fixup A
4 squash B
5 fixup fixup A
6 fixup A
I am wondering if applying 6 on top of 5 is always what you want, or
you would want to apply it to 3 instead. Otherwise you would have
written
6 fixup fixup fixup A
instead.
The two reordering possibilities are:
1 A 1 A
3 fixup A 3 fixup A
5 fixup fixup A 6 fixup A
6 fixup A 5 fixup fixup A
2 B 2 B
4 squash B 4 squash B
If you strip out the prefix when you make commits, you may lose the
information if you want to use in order to express these different
orders. I am not sure if it matters in practice, but I am not yet
convinced it is a good idea.
By the way, the message I am responding to is not something we can
apply. I am assuming these paches are for discussion-only; before
sending the final one, please check Documentation/SubmittingPatches.
Thanks.
