Sorry guys, I usually stay silent on this list, but I can not stay silent now. We have this huge thread with long discussions and many compromises. Everybody did their best to make this work and now after so much work has already been put into it, we just want to throw everything away and stop all future work on the cleanup over this last little obstacle of commit history? I think it is worth investing a little more time now to solve also this last issue so that not everything was in vain. David is a motivated and respectful guy who has been very cooperative so far stated his intentions to contribute further beyond code cleanups. We should not let him go like this. He obviously cares a lot about receiving the well-deserved recognition for his work and sees this mainly in the maintained traces of his work in the form of single commits. Alec and Thomas on the other hand have to work with the code daily and have to solve many tricky problems which often involve going through the commit history. It is also understandable that they don't want to complicate this common task. Both parties obviously have a legitimate interest here. Let us try to find a way to bring those together. David, do you think there would maybe be some other way for you to receive the recognition that you rightfully deserve? Maybe it could be in some other form than a full commit history on your first PRs? I think both parties to the dispute agree that the later PRs are less problematic because they will be a lot cleaner and will contain much less commits. So we only need to find a solution for the first ones.
