Wait a minute, `squash'? Doesn't that mean, that a reduce a series of
perfectly separated patches into one single blob of changes? If you want
to enforce linear history, why not require contributors to rebase their
series on top of the current development?

That being said, I'd still prefer if contributions came in via patches
to the mailing list only.
