Re:Git-absorb: Git commit –fixup, but automatic by Terr_ on Thursday September 26, 2024 @06:07AM (#41656554)
I'd also point out that it's bad to have commits in the main branch where compilation or unit tests would fail, even when each bad-commit always arrives with an immediate "oops, fixed" commit trailing it.

It messes up the team's ability to use tools like git-bisect to pinpoint behavior changes, and is generally more noise than signal.

At a bare minimum, those spans should get squashed before they leave the PR or feature branch.
