We also tell people to submit crap into tree all the time - it's
called staging! We also merge full history from time to time like in
the case of btrfs.

Usually even "shitty git trees" have value in the history for people
who're interested why the code is the way it is. But as people who
actually looked at the patches, it doesn't apply here.
