Sebastienros did a video presentation explaining how to do the squash without having to use the cumbersome squash ui (you do a reset branch back to the first commit and then choose the mixed mode so it keeps your changes, then you can commit everything again in one go and the history to keep it clean)

GitHub now allow to squash PR automatically on merge.
The documentation should make it clear that you need to squash your commits to keep things clean. It looks like when the repo was on CodePlex this was handled by the team.
