when you look at the PR in github it doesn't look obvious that some of the commits are bad?



The commits aren't bad as such, just noisy, typically. Github gives you a nice diff of the whole branch against master, so we normally don't pay attention to individual commits. We look at the change as a whole before merging it.

There is an indicator for the number of commits and you can view each one individually, but somehow it's so easy to forget.
