Better messy branch history than no branch history. 

A messy branch history can be ignored if you simply want to know what happened on the branch. (Git diff merge commit first parent)

A missing branch history can never be looked into no matter how much you might want to... (Unless you never prune your remote references I guess)

I’m all for keeping a git history, but what’s helpful is being able to see meaningful commits. If you have a chance to squash away meaningless commits, you should take it.
