You didn't do any whitespace cleanups or refactoring.
So it's still one commit.
I don't want to sound like my grandma, but just use common sense.
If you had to maintain this whole madness, would you appreciate if people gave you 10 broken pieces instead of one nice package?
(Have you used 'git blame' before? If yes, you will know how much more difficult it is to search for anything in the git history, if you don't follow these guidelines)
At the end, I would just squash your commits into one anyway, so the repo would be safe... but you wanted to help me, not give me more work.
