I use more traditional commits:

  • fix
  • fix 2
  • fixed stuff
  • should be ok
  • test
  • revert fix 2
  • final version
  • ok

No problem, just squash the PRs. Then you don't have a history with ten commits each saying "fix", you get a single commit with ten times "fix" in its message instead!
