Agreed. The one counterexample that I have is Github pull requests. Those are actually branches in your fork, and you do want to rewrite those when you get feedback on a pull request. That makes it easier for the owner of the repo to do the merge later.
I generally ask people to rewrite such PRs, as I’m not going to pull known buggy commits into master, even if they are followed by fixes. That is just noise.
It might also be that some commits in the PR has changed tabs to spaces or vice versa.
clinta > Why do you need to rewrite? If a pull request is not completed, you can continue to push it and the PR is updated to pull the latest commit.
sorbits is saying that no, you really should rewrite your PR.
You, hayd, seem to be merely reiterating sorbits' point.
