We noticed that this happens a lot on github in other projects, too, while it does not happen on our local company
repos.Possibly a bug of the github platform itself?
About the "fix here, fix there": I think it is up to the project lead to reject non-collapsed PRs. I'd vote for such a
rule,as a shared master branch should only contain single commits per bug/feature.

Hi,
Any clue why --no-ff merges are used a lot in pgjdbc development?
Any clue why "fix here, fix there" commits are not squashed before integration?
From my point of view, it makes history browsing hard:
1) Just look at https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/commits/master
Commits on Jul 9, 2015
Merge pull request #333 from zapov/master … Merge pull request #343 from phillipross/master … Merge pull request #351
fromheadcrashing/#328 … Merge pull request #349 from ekoontz/jsonb-support … ...
Does that make much sense?
2) Even a single commit becomes two commits, so it clutters change log
3) It looks odd to have all those "fix here, fix there" commits in the final history:
https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/pull/343/commits
What everyone thinks on that?
