This is more sensible advice than the "always squash" mantra.

I was just thinking that especially in my case, my fingerprinting
system has 80-some commits, and the automated playlist generator has
nearly 400 as of right now, and might exceed that before it's ready
for trunk.  Nobody's gonna read all of those patches, especially since
I've refactored or somehow redesigned large chunks of the APG code at
least three times since I started.
