Also, this would not be convenient for the submitter of the pull

other people) to determine that the branch was fully merged, since the
submitted commits are part of the history. With --squash, if the
submitter wants to determine if the changes were merged as-is or if
further modifications were done a more thorough examination would need
to be done, especially if the merge was done on top of a different
commit than where the original branch was based.
Well you can merge back master into your branch, then git diff master
will tell if there are still differences...
But it's unhandy.
