This is what I discovered with my trivial doc patch last week. I was quite surprised to see all my local checkins turn up on the python-checkins mailing list. Is there not some way to automatically collapse a series of local commits into one large commit when you do the push? There is, but this is again "changing history", with all the possible benefits and caveats that have been shown in this thread.

I think Ben Finney hit the nail on the head here.
