I'm new to this area, so please forgive what might be a silly question: would it make sense for maintainers' -next trees to keep a stable git history? Some maintainer trees are already stable and append-only, which gives linux-next users/testers stable commits to point to, instead of ephemeral commits that can disappear later due to history rewrites. Would getting rid of these ephemeral commits make linux-next easier to work with?
