Hi,

If there's a branch in the latest commits, you did something wrong.
If the commit history is a straight line, then it's ready to be committed.

It's essentially a matter of clarify for people who receive the commit
notifications (1 commit instead of several commits), check the diffs
(the "merge" commits make things noisy), or review the history with
gitk (no need to make a branch when there's no actual branch).

If it's OK then please commit.
