Fortunately, I don't squash my commits

I squash commits on large PRs on a case-by-case basis, especially when they have a lot of very small and silly commits (fix this, fix that, wip, ...) but implement a very specific feature which required a lot of experiments that didn't end up in the final PR. And yes, I use the commit history very frequently, so it's important for me that this doesn't contain too much noise.

If I need to bisect a bug that was introduced by the PR I still can do this in the original branch.

Ideally, that would give you the best of both worlds. But some places delete the old branches after they're merged. It would be nice if there were an easy way to hide or rename old branches so that the in-use ones stand out.
