If somebody suggested keeping data that showed every step of a person writing a report, they'd be laughed out of the room.

It's gray area that varies significantly by feature complexity and team dynamic. I find it frustrating when someone merges a branch with 1 real commit and 3 more one-line commits or trivial fixes that should have been in the first.

It's equally frustrating to have cs commits fixed up with a meaningful commit, making the diff of the meaningful commit ugly.
