Could you give an example?

For example, these were all unpushed changes 355fa41 .. a256f3e:

These three commits, are the same operation, but done more than once (e.g. fixing some typo on the notes). Would be good to squash/amend these similar operations.

Also, additionally, it is also possible to amend operations that are not continuous in history, without breaking the git merge strategy.

For example, cef2ff7 and 355fa41:

I have four operations distant from a similar one. All these operations were made without pushing. This can be, at least, an option for users that don't want such polluted git history.

When using git to manage source code, you'd want a "clean, readable" history.
When using git in dstask, we don't use it in the same way. We only use it as a mechanism for sync, basically.

I can see how what you ask for may make sense in your particular example, and worth pursuing if it's easily doable.
But I can easily imagine other users who would not appreciate that individual changes of the same task get squashed together.

I don't think it's worth adding a bit of complexity for the marginal benefit here. Thanks for the idea though.
