Is there a big performance boost for squashing when rebasing? Is it just housekeeping? I like what Paul Stadig had to say on the topic http://paul.stadig.name/

  It can make reverting a feature easier if the branch being merged had intermingled with master several times. You could avoid that by rebasing your topic branch before merging, but that's lying too. I personally never rebase unless I need to fix a commit message and I only squash merge if I had a series of ping-pong commits while trying to fix something.
