Hi folks,
I’ve noticed recently that the number of commits on Orekit develop branch has kinda exploded. And I don’t think it’s just because we’re delivering loads of new features. Recently I proposed here to change MR default settings and it was received with mixed feelings. Whilst I understand the will to keep a thorough history of the most significant changes and contribution, I really think that we should get rid of what I would call “hiccups” along the way: checkstyle fixing, javadoc corrections, editing a single test, changing the name of an attribute, etc. You get the idea
I mean with IDEs like IntelliJ, it’s very easy to select two or more commits and squash them together. I do it all the time (and I’m far from being a git wizard), exactly to get rid of the aforementioned hiccups. I don’t want to force anybody’s hand and make it an official policy or something, I would just really like to have a more readable commit history. Please help me
Cheers,
Romain.
