So I'm thinking about my approach, which is "use commits as game save points, mostly WIP, then use rebase to tidy things up before publishing". Wouldn't working on trunk still mean I'm working on a feature branch, but it all ends up squashed into a single commit? Or do I lose my opportunity to polish?
