I've reviewed+merged various big diffs in the form of branches
published as pull requests (on and off GitHub), and being able to see
each change separately with its own commit message was way easier than
one big diff with a summarized message.

If Phabricator would use merge commits, reading multi-commit history,
especially what commits got merged together (aka what branch was
integrated), is easy.

Also, bisecting is more precise without collapsed diffs.

Therefore, I wouldn't say the single-commit collapsed view is the right
choice for all diffs.
