Please don&#x27;t do this. The poor bastard who&#x27;s trying to understand your commit to fix bug #2325634 now has to wade through a load of unrelated crap to find the tiny change that&#x27;s relevant.<p>Oh, you&#x27;ve done the clean-up in another commit? But still on the feature branch? Yeah, not helping because now there&#x27;s two commits to look at instead of one and WHY DO YOU HATE ME?<p>Do this as part of a clean-up exercise with its own branch. Don&#x27;t do it as part of generic bug fixing. Your team members will thank you.
