This is odd, why would I do that? If somebody would squash 20 commits 
into just one, and sent me for review, "break commits by functional" 
would be my very first comment. How a reviewer supposed to give any 
useful comments besides high-level stuff like "remove the commented out 
code there", if a sigle patch does 20 functionally different changes?

Furthermore: if such patch was commited, how other developers in the 
future, while studying the git-log, are supposed to make any sense of 
this commit?

And how one supposed to git-bisect a regression with such a commit?
