[OpenWrt-Devel] [OpenWrt] Upstreaming related doubt

[Abhijit Mahajani]

Hello,

Another doubt related to upstreaming.

When we submit a Pull request for Creator Ci40 i.e. pistachio soc support, do I need to maintain the commit history of all the changes done in our working repo or I can squash all the commits into 3-4 logical commits and send a Pull Request?

Only problem is by squashing the commits I am losing original author/committer information., though I am adding Signed-Off-By fields to give the credit to those (and at the same time, people might not be interested in all the 100s of commits in the working repo, rather they would need only the "final" changes need to run Ci40) , so I am inclined towards squashing the commits, but if there is any policy on no. of commits or need to maintain the commit history in a Pull request then I am interested to know that.

Kindly advice.


Thanks and Regards,
Abhijit A. Mahajani
