Yes, that's exactly what `git merge` does, which is why I suggest using
`git rebase` on feature branches instead. Then you don't have that problem,
and `git rebase -i` will work nicely if you don't go crazy with it  --
e.g., like trying to reorder a history which has one commit depending on
another, that just won't work; but squashing and rewording commits, even
splitting commits when it becomes necessary, will all work fine.
