Commits. Not everyone will care to clean up their local history just to produce a single patch. You can git diff it out.

EDIT:

I was using "patch" for diff so scratch the above comment. Even then, when using a forge, I'd rather use squash unless everyone clean up their commit history when producing a PR.

This must mean that you don’t use PRs like the email workflow since nothing of what you’ve described looks like any email workflow that I’ve seen.
